  • curprev 21:3021:30, 30 September 2023 Vadeshex talk contribs 11,692 bytes +67 Undid revision 1177973898 by Daemonfc (talk) The IceCat website says "Note that building binary packages for Windows and MacOS currently requires nonfree software, so we no longer distribute binary packages for those platforms." and therefor, the fact it requires nonfree software doesn't mean it doesn't run on Windows, Mac or Android. Please provide evidence it doesn't run on those platforms. https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ undo Tag: Undo

The build process for Firefox for Windows is now so complicated you need two compilers and a copy of Linux so you can cross-compile it from Wine. Please show me someone who is actually building GNU IceCat for Windows this way. Thank you. undo Tags: Undo Reverted

  • curprev 23:3223:32, 28 September 2023 Daemonfc talk contribs 11,625 bytes −714 Origins of the name: Firefox 3 in 2008 is not really relevant. I'm not sure how Google Summer of Code involving moving some porting scripts over is worth the article mess. undo Tag: Reverted
  • curprev 23:2923:29, 28 September 2023 Daemonfc talk contribs 12,339 bytes −67 Remove Windows, Mac, and Android. While it may still be possible to build for these platforms, I haven't seen any evidence that anyone is doing that, and I doubt many users of those systems would know where to begin. undo Tag: Reverted
  • curprev 23:2623:26, 28 September 2023 Daemonfc talk contribs 12,406 bytes −23 Small cleanup. Since Firefox has been limited by Mozilla into only supporting WebExtensions, it is no longer possible to install full blown XUL applications. So IceCat is no longer an Internet Suite for the same reason Mozilla's software isn't. undo
  • curprev 23:2323:23, 28 September 2023 Daemonfc talk contribs 12,429 bytes −3,826 Remove the Version History section. They're not even making actual releases as binaries anymore, and most of these were blank anyway and wasting a TON of screen space in the article. Most of the pertinent information would be in the corresponding Firefox release. undo
  • curprev 23:2123:21, 28 September 2023 Daemonfc talk contribs 16,255 bytes −118 Distribution: Clean this up some more. There hasn't been a release tagged in years. All they do is make it so you can pull the source and build, although some Linux distributions provide binaries this way. Let's not direct users to rotting binaries. undo
  • curprev 23:1323:13, 28 September 2023 Daemonfc talk contribs 16,373 bytes −263 Distribution: Citation needed for at least a couple of years, yet nobody ever did. I checked Fink and there is no icecat package anywhere. So they've obviously dropped it if they had it at some point. Also, good luck trying to run a binary on a Mac for long if it's not being tended to constantly. undo
  • curprev 23:1023:10, 28 September 2023 Daemonfc talk contribs 16,636 bytes −117 Distribution: Policing some WikiRot. The Android build in F-Droid has been neglected since 2020 and is full of holes. Upstream Firefox ESR doesn't even support Windows Vista anymore and will drop Windows 7 after the 115 series. The last binary build for Windows would be impossible to browse with due to age and is now full of security holes. undo
