thanks for all the answers, great options!
Now don't shoot me for using the word linux because I know people on here
are touchy. The magazine is Linux Format.
Hello,
So I've been testing Trisquel 7 amd64 and so far I'm impressed! I've
installed a couple of the amd64 images as they came out but I have one query.
I've tried three different amd64 images; the first one containing Abrowser as
the inclusion of IceCat in Trisquel 7 wasn't announced
So what browser is Trisquel 7 going to have in the end?
Yes. :)
(Your question assumes it's only one.)
The Web pages don't display properly thing in Icecat is because of the
addon called LibreJS, which blocks (possibly) non-free Javascript. You can
turn it off and have web pages display properly like Abrowser (which
doesn't bring addons with it, including LibreJS, while Icecat includes
I'm trying to install a program that requires installation of, among other
things, ia32-libs-multiarch. The rest install fine and dandy but when I try
to install multiarch, I get the message I'll put at the end of this post.
I'dve assumed that it was just my rather old laptop being naff, but
Yeah, then would you mind telling us or is this backstory some kind of
secret?
I think it would be easier for people to understand this way.
LibreJS blocks things on the FSF website. Clearly there is something wrong
with it.

LibreJS isn't the only difference. There's also SpyBlock,
anti-fingerprinting, use of Tor in private browsing mode, HTTPS-Everywhere,
and the home page that lets you toggle these features in a unified way.
Use of tor is not yet implemented afaik.
And honestly, i'm very sceptical about this feature. Tor is a sensitive
subject and tiny mistakes can mess up anonymity. There's a reason why the tor
browser bundle exists.
You didn't name the magazine, don't worry. :D Linux is not an evil word just
referring to the entire system as purely Linux is considered a bad habit.

It is implemented, but I agree with you that it's not a good idea. It may
give an impression of anonymity to the user while not being as anonymous as
Tor Browser.
The fingerprint's OK. Not quite as generic as Tor Browser with scripts
disabled (something about HTTP_ACCEPT Headers), but more generic than Tor
Browser with scripts enabled. Even if you disable the cookies, the
fingerprint's more generic than Tor Browser with scripts enabled.

Tor Browser is better for its purpose. For example, how do you use bridges in
IceCat private browsing mode? Also, the version of Tor in Ubuntu isn't
updated frequently (at all?), and new pluggable transports such as meek
aren't packaged. Tor Browser will also have some changes to the
I'd rather not repeat back channel stuff without the permission of those
involved which I don't have and probably won't be able to get. Suffice it to
say that the primary intent of my comment was that condemning the decision
based only on the surface and when you don't have all of the facts
It is still a work in progress and at the moment is tuned to maximum
alertness. If a single thing is wrong no matter how small it is and it stops
the code.
With more time and testing I'm sure it will eventually be both functional and
user friendly.
The future of GNU/Linux development is now owned by a Corporation whose
biggest customer is the US military and if that doesn't make alarm bells
ring, there really is very little hope.
The whole systemd thing is based on a lie - that prior to its appearance,
Linux was all but unusable. We
