GNU IceCat, formerly known as GNU IceWeasel, is a version of the Mozilla Firefox web browser distributed by the GNU Project that exclusively comprises free software. Its official releases were compatible with Linux, Windows, Android and macOS. Currently, official releases of IceCat are being distributed only through GNU Guix. IceCat is released as a part of GNUzilla, GNU's rebranding of a code base that used to be the Mozilla Application Suite. As an internet suite, GNUzilla also includes a mail and newsgroup program, and an HTML composer. Mozilla produces free and open-source software, but the binaries include trademarked artwork. The GNU Project attempts to keep IceCat in synchronization with upstream development of Firefox ESR (long-term support versions) while removing all trademarked artwork and non-free add-ons. It also maintains a large list of free software plugins. In addition, it includes several security and privacy features not found in the mainline Firefox browser.
