If I may chime in here, asking the already overworked icecat developers to work
harder to maintain different icecat versions for closed source operating
systems isn't exactly just a security nightmare. it's an absolutely pointless
effort. you could have the best browser on earth and use it on apple mac or
microsoft windows 10 and you might as well be using google chrome to browse.
it's that pointless, because the operating system will most likely be doing
things that contradict the privacy related features of (best browser in the
world).
using icecat on windows 10 or mac os is like bringing a bucket of fresh water
everywhere you go because of it's anti-salt features and then taking it to the
middle of the ocean and expecting the fresh water to not get at least a little
salty. (unavoidably very salty eventually)
I personally believe there is a conspiracy for people to suggest over and over
that they are offended that icecat isn't supporting laughably bad
"environments" because they truly and honestly believe that it has some
benefit. "they" know that icecat dev is tired and exhausted and trying to keep
up and they want to give them more work because they want them to fail. that's
personally what I believe and I'm not afraid to say it because it's a
legitimate well reasoned thought based on the information around me. it isn't
in the least far fetched.
all I'm saying is that if you are so worried about security or privacy, why in
the name of GNU are you using an operating system like mac or windows 10? get
on a foss linux operating system and then you will have the right idea when you
think "how can I do this even better"
using icecat on a closed source operating system is like eating burgers and
pizza and donuts 6 days a week and on the seventh day you eat one salad and
think you are some health guru. you have to be joking us, and you have to be
joking yourself. seek professional mental care help, and I really do mean that
in the nicest and most caring way possible. ( to the people who are suggesting
these things)
