"Both GNU IceCat and ungoogled-chromium are now available in Ecne, joining our continuously maintained Abrowser, giving users a range of fully free web browsing choices."

Hmm so I can install #guix on a Inspiron amd Vision E2 … but forget about building anything like #niri , tried twice now and it’s just too much for the old laptop. Cool part is though I can run #emacs #xfce4 #icecat all at the same time and it runs great.

A lire comme ça, les alternatives à #Firefox, ça peut paraître simple, alors que ce n'est pas si évident, à l'installation, ni à l'utilisation / changement d'habitude. En cours d'essayage ici, l'usage de #IceCat et de #TorBrowser qui annoncent un certain niveau de respect des données personelles. Je n'ai pas le même niveau d'infos pour #Konqueror et #Chromium.
Là je suis sur l'ordi pour les tester dans un usage courant, je n'ai pas encore testé les sites commerciaux, administratifs ou bancaires.

LibreJS from GNU (a free as in freedom JavaScript alternative) :gnuhurd:

A simple add-on for Firefox which detects / blocks nonfree (nontrivial) JavaScript.

Allows its execution though on pages containing trivial and/or free code.

Quite a wished after tool :thinkhappy:

Many websites run nontrivial JavaScript on your computer and sometimes this JavaScript code can be somehow harmful.

Lyon: Utilisation d'internet, Le samedi 7 octobre 2023 de 09h30 à 16h00. https://www.agendadulibre.org/events/28140 #neutralité #feteDesPossibles2023 #internet #net #reseau #html #css #flicage #donnée #firefox #icecat #numérique

I love that #icecat now ships with privacy redirects to #invidious (privacy-preserving youtube front-end), #nitter (same but for twitter), #openMaps, #simplytranslate (instead of #google maps & translate), #wikiless (instead of #wikipedia), and more now.

It's fast. I usually don't even notice I'm on a proxy site, except when I watch entire Youtube playlists without seeing a single ad. This is a big improvement not just to icecat's set of features, but also it's approach to encouraging non-compliance with the biometric surveillance industry. I used to essentially turn icecat back into firefox by disabling most of its features to ensure no websites get broken (so that I can use picture-in-picture on #guix), but now I'm getting way less broken websites and more alternative front ends to predatory websites that I'm going to visit for discourse regardless.

Also hot tip, if you watch videos on invidious instead of youtube, it will actually recommend helpful videos to you, because rather than suggesting intellectual dark web videos for years to no avail, you get stuff like "The Nanopass Framework As a Nanopass Compiler", "#Lean meets #compilers", or whatever you're into, no matter how obscure, stuff you would have had to skim through completely unrelated Lex Friedman suggested content to find otherwise.

Great site explaining how some #internetApplications double as #spyware. Many #webBrowsers are covered but here is a small sample.

@drq
Now we are hankering for a cover of 'We Didn't Start the Fire' but about #IceCat and #LibreWolf etc re 'Commits Not Pulled From Firefox'.

Through the code they sift,
To keep out corporate grift,

"Commits not pulled from Firefox,
Not we didn't write it,
And like hell we'll fight it."

Haha

Hot take for #WebBrowser #UX,

Long-pressing the Stop/Refresh button gives options;
- Refresh,
- Stop, and importantly,
- #WorkOffline

The #OfflineMode already exists, it can be triggered from the (hidden) main menu with Alt+F and K. It helps to save #batteryLife, preventing background fetches, including #JavaScript fetches you might not like.

If you use a #Firefox derivative, you can't forget it's on. A reminder appears, asking whether you want to exit it and try again.

#libreWolf #iceCat

#Mozilla #Firefox free (as in freedom) alternatives

1- GNU #IceCat (the best)

2- #Abrowser

@Coneng

@mase it is supposed to work on #android, but i can't confirm that...
i'm using #orfox and #fossbrowser, which however do not support sync.
there is no pure #firefox in the @fdroidorg repository (and #google #play #store is not an option). just tried #icecat but cannot sign in to sync (probably related to https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50960)
