As far as I know, the IceCat project has applied for a GSoC slot only once: 9 years ago (2008) to port IceCat to the Firefox 3 code base: https://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2008.html#icecat The person who did that work, Giuseppe Scrivano, has since moved on to other things. I'm not sure if there's anyone currently involved who remembers the details from back then, but you could look at the bug-gnuzilla mailing list archives from around that time. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuzilla/ Here's the IceCat web page, which briefly describes its privacy features: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ For the full details of what changes are made, the project git repository contains the 'makeicecat' script used to produce the IceCat source code from the Firefox ESR source code. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git/tree/makeicecat Some of the privacy enhancements are implemented by addons that are included with IceCat by default. Another set of changes are made to the default settings in "about:config", some of which are listed here: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git/tree/data/settings.js Hope this helps, Regards, Mark -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org
