Icecat is already limited by the number of volunteers, I would like to volunteer but my capacities are I think to limited to help on a technical level for now (if someone has spare time to teach me I have no problem with learning). Reusing software that works especially if they are under GPL is I think not a problem.
Users have always the freedom to deactivate them and put something else, contrarily to the "eme" and other bad software that mozilla integrated. µblock origin is really a good extension I personally use it icecat. We could go further with umatrix but people are too much disturbed by it. A functionality that would be interesting is when icecat opens for the first time, a new window could propose to activate the addons in the browser with a small explication of what it does.
