Based on Adblock Plus. * AboutIceCat Adds a custom "about:icecat" homepage with links to information about the free software and privacy features in IceCat, and check-boxes to enable and disable the ones more prone to break websites. * HTML5-video-everywhere Uses the native video player to play embedded videos from different sources * Fingerprinting countermeasures: Fingerprinting is a series of techniques allowing to uniquely identify a browser based on specific characterisics of that particular instance (like what fonts are available in that machine).
