###################################### IceCat for GNU/Linux, binary release Both 32-bits and 64-bits released on https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/icecat/
IceCat for Android
IceCatMobile has been developed. Background to the intervention: Firefox for Android ###################################### IceCat for Windows
Discontinued.
Unofficial builds can be found here: https://rpm.jenslody.de/icecat-win/ (link added to https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat#tab=Details) Background to the intervention: Firefox ESR for Windows ###################################### IceCat for macOS Not developed. Background to the intervention: Firefox for macOS - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.3.0esr/ ###################################### IceCat for iOS Not developed. "Unless drastic changes have been made in iOS 9, you aren't able to use a different rendering engine when you build a browser for iOS. So Firefox for iOS is really just a reskinned Safari." Background to the intervention: Firefox for iOS ###################################### IceCat for Replicant
[Note: Not even Firefox itself can run on Replicant]
Planned by the IceCat developer(s).
Background to the intervention: IceCatMobile cannot run on
Replicant: "Firefox 52 has an opengl 2.0 dependency which
replicant can't do because it requires nonfree software (at least
on the galaxy s3, which is the best phone choice for replicant
afaik)." - Ian Kelling
###################################### IceCat Portable
Not developed. Background to the intervention:
###################################### IceCat Developer Edition
Not developed.
Background to the intervention: "Firefox Developer Edition brings your core dev tools together with some powerful new ones that will extend your ability to work across multiple platforms from one place. It’s everything you’re used to, only better. And only from Firefox." - From https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/
######################################### Not developed. Background to the intervention: From http://www.pcworld.com/article/227838/free_browser_in_a_box_runs_firefox4_with_ultra_security.html A new solution launched this week by German Sirrix AG, however, uses Firefox 4, Linux and virtualization to create what it calls a "browser in a box" that keeps all malware isolated and out of the user's main operating system. Originally created at the request of the German federal government, BitBox (short for "browser in the box") runs on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 as well as Debian Linux, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE and Gentoo, allowing users to surf the Web worry-free, Sirrix says. |
