How about qupzilla http://www.qupzilla.com/, it is fast, it uses webkit, has
an integrated adblock and it is libre.

MARKED AS FREE OF SPEECH ISSUE.
Bluzeo didn't recommended it.
i done the same using Chrome APk
Theoretically though if they license unlicensed code under a free license it
makes the software free - with those freeing them at the mercy of Google and
American courts.
Or am I wrong?
I'm trying out Iridium now and it seems that they boast about not using
Google for DNS lookups but instead take you to their own page. Does this
browser fix what the free software deems as bad? Aka removing code that
doesn't have a license (or is vague) and blobs?
Thanks.
I understand now.

I'm not. My link suggests that Firefox is actually faster.
I didn't say it's "not exactly free", I said that it's not exactly a free
version of Fedora; rather, it's a modification to Fedora that can make it
free.
The your-freedom package prevents the installation of non-free code, and due
to deliberate conflict with non-free packages in Fedora's repos, deletes
non-free packages on a Fedora system. If you want to install proprietary
software after installing the your-freedom package, you have to
As in, you can use it to make Fedora free.
> Does that mean that voluntary installation of non-free code is possible?
Voluntary installation of proprietary software is always possible. In the
case of the Freed-ora package, you could (but shouldn't!) easily reverse its
effects just by
That can make it free?
I don't understand:
installing that package does what exactly?
I have a hard time deciphering what you wrote.
What I get is that additional package makes
(or can make? what's the difference?) Fedora free.
And that when installed, it prevents the accidental installation of

bluezo only recommended non-free software in one of his posts on this thread-
The other two were just him stating his
Oh, I see why you say it's not exactly free, as it prevents the installation
of non-free software.
In a way, Libreboot isn't fully free because it doesn't support running
non-free OSs (useful to study them).
But I can live with that.
I see, thank you both for the clarification.
I personally don't care about installing non-free software,
it's just that I was told (and might have misunderstood)
that a free system can't prevent you from installing non-free software. If it
does, it's not free.
Sure you can reverse the effect
I think I got that mixed up with external installations, like from a PPA.
I mean if Fedora with that free package install
does prevent let's say a software from a PPA (that I've mistaken as fully
free),
then it's not free, is that right?
I'd love for someone to take the effort in checking Chromium and making it
more freedom friendly. Of course, this has been an issue for like 3 years now
and people would rather spend time on this site telling you that you are
wrong and this is evil and that is evil instead of taking the time
I'm a diffrent person now. I like free software. I believe it liberates us
from the evils like Microsoft and Apple. Nobody deserves to be monitored
(spied on). This is why the FSF existed
>>This forum is not a place to recommend Chrome and Steam.
I did not recommend chrome or steam. I read the guidelines thoroughly
beforehand. I just asked if Chrome was ok. And for steam, i was just said i
had an account. this was way before i even knew that the Free Software

I'll give it a try, after all, i'm in a place that is 100% free software, i
might as well try it out on the holidays.

I think there's a book called Chrome's Myths which a lot bought thinking it
was for real... And there you are, using Chrome like if it were good.
The troll didn't recommended it.
Linux / GNU :p
there is more of GNU than there is linux (if i am not mistaken)
so Gnu/Linux is more correct
also as Linux is a OS kernel the Gnu part runs on top of it
Actually, I don't know. I don't use synaptic. But yes, you can change the
names so is like there were nothing.
Digging a bit more, I see that BLAG (Fedora-based)uses that repo.
I'm not sure I understand what you say: I mean I understand that enabling
that libre repo from standard Fedora is supposed to work. I don't understand
the "will conflict" part, it seems to be saying the opposite, to me.
I didn't know about Jupiter Broadcasting, could you tell me which podcast it
is?
Of course you have the freedom to do what you want, no one told you
otherwise.
But don't mistake this as freedom:
I play, but I make sure I don't get played in the process.
It's like in chess, you have poisoned
There's a package which is called something like "your-freedom", that
conflicts with all proprietary software in Fedora's repo. This prevents those
proprietary programs from being installed accidentally (and also helps you
remove them in the first place).
> maybe there's a free version of Fedora
Not exactly a free version of Fedora, but the Linux-libre maintains a repo
for Fedora called "Freed-ora". Installing a package from there will conflict
with all of the proprietary software in Fedora's repo. This is possible
because Fedora mostly has
Chrome has a reputation of being faster.
It seems it's not really true:

Also you maybe might have too many plugins running.
You can't run a "close but open" linux distro.
It's not even open anymore, since parts are closed.
It's no different

Can i compile a free software version using chromium?
Awesome, thank you Sir!
But isn't that the same as "completely remove" in Synaptic? I thought it was.
Anyway, I'll try it, thanks.
Why not opt for Abrowser instead? (Its parent had adblock before Chrome was
conceived, and I'm thinking the same for the tab extension you want).
Ahem, anyway, there seems to exist parts of Chromium where the licensing is
unclear, in effect making it not-fully free. Debian takes a different

That's because you unistall it. You must use apt-get purge to unistall +
remove preferences of the program.
well, usually I have no problem with that.
Here I can't download the file at all, nor can I access it online.
I had a 302 error, but it only happened when I tried to download the document
twice in a row (without success of course), so I don't think it's related at
all since it's a
The "downloaded successfully" isn't Abrowser related. Yes, I see how it's
clearer visually than with words,
but trust me, nothing special happens. If anything, nothing happens.
It's not even "downloaded successfully", it's just some sort of landing page,
with a "return to previous page" kind
The government is perfectly capable of re-inventing the wheel with
proprietary JavaScript code that breaks on some browsers. It seems to have
become quite fashionable lately to turn the Web browser into a shim for
various JavaScript clients.
Perhaps you can record a video of what happens?
I'm not looking for interesting visuals. I want to see what exactly happens.
Abrowser doesn't have a "downloaded successfully" page, or anything like
that. That's something the website is doing. Seeing this non-standard process
is entirely relevant to understanding what's going on.
The way
This sounds like some proprietary JavaScript nonsense, or even like some sort
of malware. Could you link to the page you're talking about?
Not really, unfortunately.
You'd need my personal login to access it.
But it's a legit website (government related).
I'll try again right now, with IceCat as well, so I can compare.
Visually, nothing in articular happens (check my step by step written
description above).
IceCat has LibreJS on by default, and it worked, so I doubt it's Javascript
related.
Specially since enabling/disabling NoScript on Abrowser didn't change a
thing.
Just to not let things hang, I'll save
Err.Chrome's extensions (and the browser itself) were predated by
Firefox's extensions and were actually inspired by it I think.
I don't see hoe Chrome's got more power than Firefox, upon which IceCat and
Abrowser were copied almost (but not quite) verbatim.
People on this forum will likely suggest freeing yourself. I certainly do. If
you need to strengthen your resolve, do some reading

You haven't told us what the inconvenience is, maybe we could help.
just how is Firefox AKA abrowser inconvenient?
to install a ad-blocker go here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock/
and to duplicate tabs:
http://techlogon.com/2012/06/13/how-to-duplicate-tabs-in-firefox/
How do i do those tasks of installing adblocker for Abrowser and How to
duplicate tabs for me? Any help would be much apperciated!
Here's a repository of free extensions https://trisquel.info/en/browser
Of course you can use 3rd party sources as well, just make you sure check the
license before you do.
(One way to dupe a tab without any extensions is to select the location bar
(by using alt+d or ctrl+l or by mouse)
Using helpful extensions like Adblock and so forth
???
Abrowser has Adblock, and it can duplicate tabs.
The only inconvenience I've encountered so far is an impossibility to
download a specific PDF file.
I tried disabling all my plugins, enabling all the js, and even turning my
VPN off.
I know that I previously modified stuff in about:config, so that might be a
likely cause.
So it's probably
Ah well, i guess i only have 2 options, Keep using chrome or use a
free-software browser that causes me inconvience. Which option? Huh?
Is google chrome and it's derivatives a good browser for Trisquel? Because i
favor it for it's power.

No
Chrome is proprietary and therefore, at a minimum, is a security threat for
you. Chromium isn't much better either:
