Just found by accident a great keyboard shortcut in the Brave browser, firefox & IceCat.
Ctrl-Shift+Del will open the "delete browsing data" dialog.
Never knew this before (I'm sure others did) but it's really cool!

#IceCat extensions disabled because they're not verified?!!
WTF is this BS?!
Thanx for that article on browsers!

I had been using IceCat until there were no more updates, apparently the result of Firefox changing some fundamental APIs either in the rendering engine or the plug-in system. I didn't realize that IceCat was still being maintained in source code. Now Imma have to do some downloading and compiling...
[blog] Quitter Firefox
Voilà un article que je n'aurai jamais cru écrire : comment quitter Firefox. La page dédiée au logiciel est l'une des plus ancienne du site (voir la plus ancienne). Difficile de changer 22 ans d'habitudes en quelques jours. Voici quelques pistes...
Given all the Firefox drama in the last few days, I think it's time for me to switch to a gn**ew** browser
@http_error_418 @swift @sarahjamielewis Remembering Iceweasel from back in the days I took a look at other FF derivatives and #IceCat at first glimpse seems to be alternative... Had it not been for the fact that it seems dormant. Does anyone know of another "Free as in freedom" alternative? It's scary if all the browsers are not-free at the moment.

Je suis actuellement en train de tester Icecat, basée sur Firefox ESR.

Hors Gecko ou Blink, il y a ce qui est à base de Webkit mais pas encore suffisamment mature (Gnome Web ne supporte pas - encore - les extensions web).
Enfin, un projet à suivre c'est Servo mais là encore c'est très très loin de pouvoir être utilisé comme remplacement de Firefox
Use firefox or a fork? These are incredibly useful in the address bar, but not advertised:
Add ^ to show only matches in your browsing history.
Add * to show only matches in your bookmarks.
Add + to show only matches in bookmarks you've tagged.
Add % to show only matches in your currently open tabs.
Add # to show only matches where every search term is part of the title or part of a tag.
Add $ to show only matches where every search term is part of the web address (URL). The text “https://” or “http://” in the URL is ignored, but not “file:///”.
Add ? to show only search suggestions.

Haha
Never heard of #IceCat!
What do you think about the #opensource Firefox #fork #Librewolf ?
(Can also recommend #MullvadBrowser, it is a very #privacy focused #Firefox version, because #Tor co-developed it - take a look )
Looks like the New Interface for #MastodonSocial #DotSocial doesn't run in #IceCat on my (now-fixed after nearly 3 months) PC! The error is `Uncaught TypeError: Object.hasOwn is not a function`, which is presumably because IceCat doesn't use the latest JS (it's something like a couple of years behind FF), but that shouldn't be a reason to break on it! I hope this new interface isn't rolled out to here too! #MastoDev @Gargron
