[Bug-gnuzilla] 38.8.0 not listed in the RSS feed

Hi, I sent this to the wrong list (dev) by mistake: >The RSS feed at Savannah has not been updated for v38.8.0. >Also should mention that Wikipedia didn't update the version number until June >1st, probably because the update was hidden on the FTP and never announced. Thank you, -- -Dan Q

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Suggestion: .gnuzilla/icecat/ instead of .mozilla/icecat/

Hi, I think it's a better idea to keep all the Mozilla-based products' profiles in the same predictable place. Thunderbird, Tor Browser Bundle, etc. BTW, any new info on the v45 security issues vs the cookie prompt? Were we going to backport the security updates to v38, or move forward to v45

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Suggestion: .gnuzilla/icecat/ instead of .mozilla/icecat/

I think updating to the latest ESR (or at least backporting the newer security fixes) should be our main priority right now. -- -Dan Q On Tue, 21 Jun 2016 17:57:24 +0300, Tiberiu-Cezar Tehnoetic wrote: > On 06/15/2016 03:07 PM, Tiberiu-Cezar Tehnoetic wrote: > > I would

What is wrong with uBlock Origin? It seems to work a lot better than the old Adblock Edge which was similar to Spyblock, plus it covers additional stuff like webRTC, beacons, prefetching, etc -- -Dan Q On Tue, 4 Oct 2016 03:10:30 +0200 (CEST), wrote: > spyblock is an

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Firefox Hello free?

Hi, I think Firefox Hello was not functional at all in IceCat v38.8, even though it was in the UI (like the DRM and SafeBrowsing options). I might be wrong (as IceCat did integrate Mozilla's Sync service, to my knowledge). -- -Dan Q On Wed, 5 Oct 2016 20:22:38 +0200, David Hedlund

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] IceCat 45 IMPORTANT consideration: Keep cookie prompt "ask me every time"

Why is everyone so opposed to an addon for something that nobody uses? I can't imagine anyone clicking 20 dialog boxes per each loaded banner ad. So opposed to using an addon that they are unwilling to update serious security problems in software? All I know is that all of this politics is

Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Build Spyblock from uBlock Origin

uBlock Origin a bit of a learning curve for Adblock Plus users but I do agree we should switch. But, more importantly, get out an updated, secure IceCat release before making feature enhancements. -- -Dan Q On Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:48:36 +0700, Sedov Andrey wrote: >

[Bug-gnuzilla] Can we handle this stuff with a vote?

Hi, Icecat has been unsafe and insecure for months because people have been arguing over trivial things and the developers are waiting for our opinions but refusing to act. I say we handle this with a mailing list vote. I don't know all the arguments, but for the first week, every issue would

[Bug-gnuzilla] I am really getting sick of this. Goodbye

Hi, I am sick and effing tired of the project going nowhere because all we do is argue over the same crap while the developers can't make up their mind on what to do before the next already-obsolete version is released. I've seen more fringe opinions with IceCat than I've seen in any other
