As much as I dislike the latest moves by Mozilla [1] and as much as I like GNU and IceCat, I'm a bit worried by the lack of maintenance of the project. IceCat is quite lagging behind Firefox ESR now. HEAD is 52.3.0, whereas Firefox ESR is already at 52.5.2. Some JS preferences are outdated, like those referring to pipelining or loop. And most addons will be dead when ESR transitions to Quantum. I think the project would be much better served by a simple rebranding script that removes proprietary artwork, and a user.js that is aggressively kept up-to-date. Keeping IceCat fresh and useful is increasingly important. For example, it's the main browser used by GuixSD, a Libre GNU distribution that is gaining popularity.
