![]() Well no default browser will give people the freedom to choose what they want so I'm all for that as long as it's easy to set up a default browser through a software centre of some sort and browsers of different licenses and beliefs are options. I discovered a browser recently (on my free-browser hunt ) called Qupzilla and I'm very impressed so far. Add-ons and plug-ins could be a bit easier to configure but apart from that, it has potential. Hi jonaspn, I cheacked out Dooble and I think it's a nice browser. I hope ye will consider my suggestion sometime in the future (I know ye have bigger fish to fry right now ) I'm Very excited about the ReactOS project, and I believe once it takes off, it could change the world of computing as we know it. Here's a link to the original IceWeasel website: Here's a link to GNU IceCat (while was formally 'IceWeasel'): Here's a link to IceWeasel for Microsoft Windows: Iceweasel is Exactly like Firefox, only it does not contain non-free components. IceWeasel was developed as a completely free as in freedom alternative web browser to Mozilla Firefox, due to the controversy over Firefox containing some non-free components. While this is nice, especially because they retracted, there are several things at stake here.I recently discovered that a group of developers developed a version of the web browser IceWeasel for Microsoft Windows and I believe that the ReactOS team should consider making IceWeasel the default web browser of ReactOS. Mike Hommey: Finally, some sense : Dragonfly Networks Says:.rabbits have bad connotations in many cultures, as tricksters, cowards, disease-carriers, sex-maniacs, bringers of bad luck and so on, while weasels symbolise resurrection and bravery – except in US politics (â€weasel wordsâ€) and Dilbert, oddly enough. “Weasel†was posted here as a simple alternative to “rabbitâ€. I’m pretty angry that Mark Shuttleworth incorrectly claims that debian calls it Iceweasel “to belittle or demean†Mozilla, though. And I know it’s juvenile, but the suggestion on the bug report that they rename it “firecox†just to spite MozCorp made me laugh. Ubuntu get punished for breaking ranks and accepting MozCorp’s non-free terms – Some day, it comes back in your face indeed. It really does show that Debian Iceweasel and GNU Icecat are necessary. The Mozilla Corporation took another step in developing their obnoxious “Free Software†EULA which is actually enforced by their very-non-free trademark and logo copyright licensing.

The only terms related to this that I can see are:ĥ. Apparently, the main reason for keeping the EULA is because of the use of services that require an EULA, such as safebrowsing. Now, speaking of this infamous EULA, I filed a bug a while ago, because the EULA would also show up on unbranded builds, which was “resolved” invalid. That would obviously have been a mistake, as Mozilla has found another creative way to badly behave. If they had changed the license for their logo (which was the actual uncircumventable problem), I might have considered changing the name back. When the issue came up two years ago, most people focused on the wrong issue of Mozilla demanding to review the patches we apply, and while two years ago that would have been an actual burden, I must say they have improved in the last months on the patch review (and even inclusion) side. Recent news are confirming that Debian’s choice to not comply with Mozilla’s trademark policy and rename Firefox to Iceweasel was a good one.
