Extensions included to this version of IceCat:

  * LibreJS
   GNU LibreJS aims to address the JavaScript problem described in the article

  * HTTPS Everywhere
   HTTPS Everywhere is an extension that encrypts your communications with
   many major websites, making your browsing more secure.

  * ViewTube
   Watch videos from video sharing websites with extra options.

  * A series of configuration changes and tweaks were applied to ensure that
   IceCat does not initiate network connections that the user has not explicitly
   requested. This implies not downloading feeds, updates, blacklists or any
   other similar data needed during startup.");
