Hi.
Is there any reason (other than lack of manpower) that GNU IceCat is not
packaged in Debian?

I suspect it's mostly just resources, but it's an immense amount of work,

IceCat enables DoNotTrack by default, but (as far as I understand) both
upstream Firefox and Debian Iceweasel does not want to make that
change.
This is slightly off-topic, but you should know that NoScript enables
DNT behind your back, and AFAICS there'

Hi,
Do we really need another mozilla browser around?
Last time I heard the iceweasel maintainers were looking for other people to
help them.
I don't think yet another clone of firefox is going to do any good in any
