[Slackbuilds-users] [Bug-gnuzilla] icecat 38.8.0 crashes

[awakeyet at tutanota.de]

sounds really nice, but why would we want to pass along such strongly minimalistic 
"un-de-freedomed" browsers along to the normal people specifically without added security features? this basically lands them back right where they started since they are immediately washed clean and then re-exposed to the filth of the world again. we have to help them but "here don't go alone, take this!" without security- without defense there is nothing worth defending.
