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

I'm sorry to inform that the files have been removed. There are no
latest release for Windows available without them. Why did you remove them?
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
