Re: [Trisquel-users] Why doesn't Trisquel 8 use Iridium browser as default browser?

Also, because there are still questions about whether the Iridium team have  
successfully removed all proprietary code from upstream. See:

>(Abrowser) which Trisquel's developer maintains

That's Icecat.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Why doesn't Trisquel 8 use Iridium browser as default browser?

[alonivtsan]

Because it already has a free software browser (Abrowser) which Trisquel's  
developer maintains (which includes removing suggestions of non-free add-ons,  
removing DRM support, and providing a free add-on repository).


Making Iridium completely free would likely also require some work (such as  
maintaining a list of free add-ons and ensuring support for DRM is removed).
