Hardly anyone in this community switched to trisquel in one step.
There are lots of members here who used a distro like linux mint first.

There are some problems with Icecat with html5 for what I tested. At this

That might just be LibreJS. Or maybe it's because it's an old version.

Thank you oralfloss,
I have downloaded the file again and it now works :) Thank you for your

nothing happened. The terminal said it was already installed.

I would prefer not to install CyanogenMod. I will if necessary, but to me it
seems like the mobile equivalent of using Ubuntu filled with proprietary
drivers over Trisquel.
Many websites contain nonfree JavaScript. Abrowser will run this JavaScript
code by default, but this code is not provided by Trisquel; it's provided by
the websites that host it. Trisquel contains only free software.
Why did you then buy this unsupported device? There wasn't any other
Replicant-compatible phone with similar price and hardware power available?
I think it's still better (as in more freedom) to run CyanogenMod than
basic Android.
Trisquel doesn't include nonfree software. A lot of websites, though,
silently install Javascript code into your browser. The way it works is the
website requests to load a Javascript file and the browser usually loads it
transparently, without telling the user what's going on.
I'm actually leaning off of permissive licenses unless it is for something
important that needs to be standardized (like Opus) or like what 10gen does
by having the core copyleft yet the drivers permissive.
With projects like jQuery, they went from being dual licensed with the GPL

JavaScript can reveal more about you and your web browser than is
revealed through HTTP.

PHP is different because of the way it works. What that does is, when you

No, in your case, it's the mobile equivalent of choosing Fedora or Debian

The mirror you are trying to use seems off-line. Change it from the Software

Going from GPL+MIT to MIT only is not much of a change. The double licensing

sole MIT license before the change.
