About
GNUzilla is the GNU version of the Mozilla suite, and GNU IceCat is the GNU version of the Firefox browser. Its main advantage is an ethical one, it is entirely free software. While the Firefox source code from the Mozilla project is free software, they distribute and recommend nonfree software as plug-ins and addons. Also their trademark license imposes requirements for the distribution of modified versions that make it inconvenient to exercise freedom 3. Extension that encrypts your communications with many major websites, making your browsing more secure. Blocks privacy trackers while in normal browsing mode, and all third party requests when in private browsing mode, based on Adblock Plus. Adds a custom “about:icecat” homepage with links to information about the free software and privacy features in IceCat, and checkboxes to enable and disable the ones more prone to break websites.

About
OMEGA is an ultra-lightweight native macOS web browser engineered to provide maximum privacy, minimal footprint, and fast performance by leveraging the WebKit engine already built into Apple devices rather than bundling a heavy browser engine of its own. At around 3.6 MB on disk and launching in under a second, it prioritizes privacy by blocking third-party trackers, fingerprinting scripts, and ad-tech endpoints at the network level so browsing behavior isn’t profiled or shared with data brokers, and it includes aggressive features such as YouTube ad neutralization, Fortress Mode for strict security and HTTPS upgrades, and anti-fingerprinting techniques that inject slight noise to make persistent identification harder. OMEGA’s Amnesia Mode lets you browse in RAM so session data disappears when you quit, and the Nuke Button lets you wipe cookies, cache, history, and site data across selectable time ranges.
