Description
GNUzilla represents the GNU adaptation of the Mozilla suite, whereas GNU IceCat is the version of the Firefox browser tailored for GNU users. Its primary benefit lies in its commitment to ethical standards, as it is entirely composed of free software. Although the source code of Firefox from the Mozilla project is also open, it endorses and includes nonfree software in the form of plug-ins and add-ons. Furthermore, the trademark license set by Mozilla imposes restrictions on how modified versions can be distributed, which can hinder users' ability to fully exercise their freedom in software use. IceCat enhances browsing security by providing an extension that encrypts communications with numerous prominent websites. It effectively blocks privacy trackers during standard browsing sessions and prevents all third-party requests while in private browsing mode, utilizing Adblock Plus technology. Additionally, IceCat features a unique “about:icecat” homepage that offers valuable insights into its free software and privacy functionalities, along with customizable checkboxes to enable or disable features that may disrupt website accessibility, ensuring a more tailored browsing experience. This thoughtful design not only promotes user privacy but also aligns with the principles of free software advocacy.
Description
Servo aims to offer a standalone, modular web engine that can be easily embedded, enabling developers to create applications and content via web standards. Developed in Rust, it shares code with both Mozilla Firefox and the broader Rust community. Since launching in 2012, Servo has played a role in shaping W3C/WHATWG web standards through the identification of specification issues and the creation of new cross-browser automated tests, with core team members contributing to the editing of new standards that have gained acceptance among various browsers. This initiative not only advances the web platform as a whole but also relies on a foundation of reusable, modular technologies that adhere to web standards. Developers can experiment with Servo and report any problems by utilizing pre-built nightly snapshots, eliminating the need for local builds. As we move forward with the release of our initial developer preview, we are committed to enhancing our security measures through formal audits, while also leveraging existing libraries alongside Rust to bolster our practices. This focus on security ensures that the tools we provide are both reliable and safe for developers.
