    See also: LibreWolf. I believe it’s more or less the same idea, but more up-to-date.

    Does regular Firefox disrespect privacy in some ways, or is the fork just better for privacy due to the additional privacy protection features listed on that page?

        There’s the possibility of a hardened user.js, e.g. this one by pyllyukko on Github to set many of these configuration items in a more secure or privacy-respecting way.

            Everything is commented, so I’d go through the user.js once in a while and copy it to my own. I don’t use all of the settings.

    I like IceCat (and the logo is so cute 💖 ). There is also Abrowser from the Trisquel GNU/Linux project. For me the best 100% free/libre Firefox fork. Includes its own Add-on site and a better user experience than IceCat.

    It’s very nice and all, but keep in mind that it was last updated two years ago, on June 2019.

        My bad then. In my defense, it’s not immediately apparent that the project is still being updated.

          Guix provides a more up-to-date IceCat, but warns that “IceCat 78 has not yet been released by the upstream IceCat project. This is a preview release, and does not currently meet the privacy-respecting standards of the IceCat project.”

          I had no idea this was still the case.
