My little place on the internet...
This is my blog with personal and technical articles. My Blog for me is primarily a playground to do somethings with the server I have running via my DSL connection. And in my humble opinion it looks better every time I tinker with it.
Iceweasel
I recently came across the Iceweasel browser. This is a a free software derivation of the Mozilla Firefox web browser. This spin off will in the future probably replace Firefox on al the GNU/Linux platforms due to the “free software” philosophy. Currently Debian is switched over to Iceweasel and Ubuntu seems to be the next inline.
Iceweasel also comes with extra privacy protection features :
- Blocking of cookies from sites that user zero-byte images for tracking.
- Detecting of hostname rewriting in links redirecting users to other sites, when this happens an alert messages gets displayed.
The first GNU/Linux x86 32 bit binary release is available, The source codes are also available for download. Check them out at the GNU mirror or ftp.gnu.org. Check here for more info.
