sorry for the lateness of this. Desktop PSU kinda died and so I
compiled this on my laptop which is fairly underpowered
I've only compiled the 64bit binary for now, I get my new power supply
unit tomorrow so I can do a 32bit build then
https://casualgamer.ca/icecat/icecat-52.3.0.en-US.win64.zip
https://casualgamer.ca/icecat/cross-build-patches_52.3.0.tar.xz

Keep in mind, this is an unofficial compile. But at least it's a new
binary for 52.3.0

Chris,
One thing you could try is disabling JavaScript entirely. When you
go to the home page of icecat (pressing alt+home on my computer),
you will see a checkbox "Disable JavaScript".
I do this on my machine (which is not Windows) and BBC News
displays well. Some things (e.g. videos) will not be functional as
they require non-free JavaScript to run.

Hi Felix,
Thanks for your reply. I've successfully downloaded and
installed
IceCat from that URL you kindly sent me. I realise that
the Windows
versions will lag behind the Linux versions a little.
I'm a little concerned that I'm not going to be able to
use IceCat
very much as it doesn't seem to work very well. The first
website I
tried was the BBC News website - a trusted source that I
use all the
time. It didn't display at all in the way I expected,
showing giant
graphic icons instead of the normal size, failing to
arrange the
sections of the screen in their normal places and not
presenting the
page very well at all.
I appreciate that this may be because the BBC is coding it
in a way
that demands non-free components to run but sadly if I
can't use my
preferred websites with this browser, I'll be going back
to one of the
others I use.
Cheers
Chris
