IceCat for Replicant
Planned by the IceCat developer(s).
Background to the intervention: IceCatMobile cannot run on Replicant:
"Firefox 52 has an opengl 2.0 dependency which replicant can't do
because it requires nonfree software (at least on the galaxy s3, which
is the best phone choice for replicant afaik)." - Ian Kelling

that keeps all malware isolated and out of the user's main operating
system.
Originally created at the request of the German federal government,
BitBox

says.
