+ The builtin plugins are decent. Librejs and its other contend blocking plugins are way more annoying
than something like umatrix but I am giving them a fair chance knowing that umatrix might not have
much of a future even if its still quite functional still. I still like to install ublock even with

+ So I got annoyed of librejs and other builtin plugins in icecat. Now I just disable them because umatrix
+ and ublock can do way more, except jshelter: It is a api spoofer which is different from the others which

+ jshelter to strict mode by default.

+ section or in some cases you might have to dig around in the inspector.

+ Icecat is much more hardened overall, makes zero requests to mozilla and has many features used for + spying disabled at the source level. Librewolf is still one of the best options for hardened firefox + based webbrowsers still. Its updated much more often than icecat and is less likely to break shitty + websites.
