Yeah, they're compatible, no problem. In fact Trisquel's addon database often
just links directly to download links from the Mozilla addons database. Just
check to make sure it's libre and you're good.
I've installed AdBlock Plus (be sure to uncheck acceptable ads in the
options) as well as HTTPS everywhere, Privacy Badger and No Script. No
issues so far.
Since Abrowser is based on Firefox, the latter's add-ons ought to work in
Abrowser. Am I right?
If yes, is there an issue installing libre Firefox add-ons in Abrowser,
instead of going through Abrowser's add-ons manager?
Yes, I got the point FindEssential, thanks to everyone
Davide0,
This sort of inquiry hearkens to an important issue in Free Software, whether
to define it narrowly or broadly. Here in this forum people tend to define it
broadly to encompass things that are not software or additional points that
can be easily replicated with mainline software.
And is it possible to disable telemetry/data collection/tracking in Firefox
(and also HTML DRM)? And if I disable them is Firefox like Abrowser (apart
the logo)?
IceCat is ESR - based on Firefox 52. Abrowser is not (it's based on newer
Firefox 56). Abrowser/Icecat also hide the DRM option in the main menus.
As far as I am aware these "features" are not removed per-say. Its just that
by default EME and telemetry are turned off which can be done in mainline
Firefox as well. Firefox ships with EME opt-in only, but I believe Telemetry
is on by default. Beyond that there is the branding and the add-o
There are other differences between the browsers other than artwork
licensing, such as Abrowser removing support for HTML5 DRM and also removing
telemetry (and linking to a free add-on repository).
Yes, Firefox, the software is free software with a free software license. The
logo is not libre. A logo is not software though, but art, or symbol. So.. if
you are ok with that, with the nonfree painted fox, go for it, yes.
The only difference between Abrowser and Firefox is the addons repository? If
so, if I install Firefox and only free addons am I using a GNU-compatible
software?
"Not the official Mozilla binaries"
Or indeed not even the unofficial Mozilla binaries that you compile yourself.
(This is the "If you compile Mozilla unmodified source code (including code
and config files in the installer) and do not charge for it..." part of their
policy.)
The only way
Not the official Mozilla binaries.
"Does Mozilla's trademark now authorize for-profit redistribution of exact
copies of the binaries?"
No, Mozilla's trademark policy is unchanged in that regard.
This is why I recommend people to use Guix package manager, instead of
adding custom PPAs.
Hello everybody,
If someone wants to use Firefox, they ought to use Debian. Iceweasel is now
Firefox in Debian because Mozilla has changed its rules or whatever regarding
their logo. This is my understanding that the logo is free now. I may be
wrong of course.

it's best for all those involved if you do stay with Abrowser or IceCat.

In Trisquel, the defaut browser is ABrowser, which is basically just Firefox

You can install extensions by downloading the .xpi and drag&dropping it onto

I really like the idea of having only 3 addons installed (though it seems it
demands knowing how to configure them, as far as I know, which isn't far). It
seems it would cover 99% of the needed protection if properly configured
(What are those 1%? No idea yet).
OTOH, let's say I mainly use
Magic Banana, how does it work exactly? Are addons catalog not part of the
repo? And Why Trisquel's catalog would be better/safer than Firefox's?
> Why do they not make an abrowser trisquel debian package?
Because it's not the Trisquel maintainers' job to make and maintain a package
for Debian. If you want an Abrowser package in Debian, no one is stopping you
from making and maintaining one.
tonlee, as Magique said, first of all make sure it is free software, then all
you can do is you trust only well known and trustworthy developers. Don't
install things you don't need, this should be the "philosophy" of it, I
think.
Yes. I have been suspecting addons to do what is described in the broadcast.
It is much like many apps on android and ios. If some addons are not malware,
I would know how to verify?
I disliked how the firefox gui got modified. I do not know if firefox can get
configured to the previous gui. That is why I installed the restore theme
addon. An addon that I do not trust and would prefer not to use.
Same about the addons zoom button and manually sort folders on thunderbird.

If it is a trisquel browser, do they not want people to install abrowser on

Ice cat/A-Browser where clean (it would be somewhat worring if they where
not),
I'm more worried for other users that care about proprietary formats yet not
in the 100% free software camp.
DRM hasn't been added to Firefox yet, so Abrowser/IceCat are already
DRM-free. Once Firefox adds EME (and I haven't read anything about it since
the initial announcement) Abrowser/IceCat will of course be made DRM-free.
Indeed, I'm looking/waiting to see when a DRM free version will pop up. I'm
already firmly in the A-browser/Ice Cat camp here but just for everyone
else's sake I hope an easy solution is produced soon.
