Re: Getting Jitsi to work with IceCat
This was very useful, thank you! I always assumed Jitsi didn't work with Icecat. This isn't exactly Guix related, but it is such a common problem for Guix users that it should probably go in the cookbook. Or even better, our Icecat should be packaged to use a Firefox user agent by default. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

There’s been quite some ugliness with "acceptable ads" and Ad-Block Plus (I hope uBlock Origin does not do them…).

Re: Getting Jitsi to work with IceCat
May I ask how you install add-ons with Icecat? Every time I've tried to install an extension, I've gotten a complaint that this plugin is meant for Firefox. Your version is not compatible. Admittedly, I am trying to install Ad-Block Plus...Maybe that is a bit different. And of course perhaps Guix should have a way to install add-ons for Icecat. "guix package -i icecat-ad-block-plus", but that's a topic for another day.

Please fill a bug against Jitsi-Meet on it's own issue/task tracker, good webdesign tests for capabilities, not user-agent (Jitsi-Meet is like an app inside a website). In the description, provide steps to counter that at end-user level too. If/when that issue/task is reported, remember to reference that others so that they can see how to accomplish that. -- * Ativista do software livre * https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno * Membro dos grupos avaliadores de * Software (Free Software Directory) * Distribuições de sistemas (FreedSoftware) * Sites (Free JavaScript Action Team) * Não sou advogado e não fomento os não livres * Sempre veja o spam/lixo eletrônico do teu e-mail * Ou coloque todos os recebidos na caixa de entrada * Sempre assino e-mails com OpenPGP * Chave pública: vide endereço anterior * Qualquer outro pode ser fraude * Se não tens OpenPGP, ignore o anexo "signature.asc" * Ao enviar anexos * Docs., planilhas e apresentações: use OpenDocument * Outros tipos: vide endereço anterior * Use protocolos de comunicação federadas * Vide endereço anterior * Mensagens secretas somente via * XMPP com OMEMO * E-mail criptografado e assinado com OpenPGP signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Getting Jitsi to work with IceCat
Hi Guixers! Since this has bitten me for a long time and it seems to trip many IceCat users, I'd like to share a tip to get https://meet.jit.si/ to work on IceCat: - Install a user agent switcher extension like this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uaswitcher/ - Switch to the latest Firefox user agent. Make sure to apply the change to the right tab. By the way, this seems to fix more than just Jitsi. Happy Jitsing! -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Turns out IceCat has no trouble with WebRTC, it's only the Jitsi rejects the user-agent! :p There is a popular "user agent switcher" extension: install it, set the user agent to the latest Firefox and you'll be good to go!
