* Cool free software web browsers
There are multiple options to browse the web using programs built by
free-software communities. See below some of them and "Happy Browsing"!
** Parabola Iceweasel
[[https://wiki.parabola.nu/Iceweasel ][Icweasel ]] is based on Firefox (rolling-release) disabling some features that may
compromise the user's privacy. There is an interesting [[https://wiki.parabola.nu/IceWeasel_History ][review of the Iceweasel history ]]
for those that want to know more about it.
** Icecat
The GNU version of Firefox. [[https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ ][Icecat ]] has some nice add-ons to check
how Javascript is working on the browsers and to block some unfriendly scripts
or threads on the web.
