GNU IceCat (originally GNU IceWeasel) is part of GNUzilla (the GNU version of the Mozilla Application Suite).
#Gnu icecat browser. license
“In order for a file to be detected as free, the license notice should appear in a JavaScript file above all code, at the very top of the file.”
#Gnu icecat browser. free
The cool thing about JavaScript: THERE IS NO CLOSED JS-SOURCE, IT IS ALL “OPEN SOURCE” PER DEFAULT (maybe obfuscated, compressed but OpenSource)īut yes of-course – is JQuery’s MIT-license = Free Software? –
If you find a bug, please report it to Browser without JavaScript is supersafe – but (unfortunately) pretty useless right now (2016.10).īlocking all JavaScript that has license or not is the “hardcore approach” to the web nowadays 😀 (almost all more sophisticated sites will break – some not even displaying any TEXT and PICTURES (NO KIDDING! EVEN UNIVERSITY-PORTALS HIGHLY BET ON JS! BAD BAD BAD! :-D) Other free Mozilla extensions and add-ons may be available for this purpose.
#Gnu icecat browser. code
Its goal is to detect nonfree nontrivial JavaScript, and it currently does not detect whether free or trivial code is malicious or not. “ mention doesn’t come as a surprise since NoScript has been often cited as a ‘defensive weapon’ for activists and other people targeted by oppressive governments,” he concluded.Įdward Snowden endorses NoScript as a countermeasure against state Surveillance Stateĭownload mirror here: noscript_security_suite-2-9-0-14-fxfnsm-xpi-tar.gz The Firefox NoScript Addon is even praised by Ed Snowden himself: Unless client-side scripting could be done in a safer way. More backend, less front-end.Ī website/portal without JS support might be perfectly doable – the question is: will people do that. That is definitely a downer – the question is – allow JS on those sites only? or disable completely and not use it 😀 and ask the programmers to change their ways. Unfortunately, i think Facebook even works well without JS, but Diaspora and WordPress FAIL BADLY (IMHO) with JS disabled 🙁 To my experiences with this scripting language – it is cool that it exists but: it is slow and dangerous! IT CAN SPY ON/ATTACK/HIJACK YOUR ROUTER 😀 NoJS AT ALL 😀Īnother problem: I COULD NOT GET ANY JAVASCRIPT TO WORK.
So there might be critical bugs that were not fixed yet – tearing potential security holes – while browsing. (its Version 38 something even Debian’s repo has Firefox (IceWeasel) ESR 45.4.0) While IceCat is very very fast – disabling a lot of JavaScript (actually ALL JavaScript :-D) – THIS RELEASE SEEMS TO NOT GET UPDATED VERY OFTEN. There is always a hacker stripping out the bad stuff, leaving in the good stuff and releasing it to the public.
