- kelsonv reviewed GNU IceCat
Firefox minus Firefox, and uses LibreJS to block non-Free JS.
For me it's overkill, and I'd only recommend IceCat if you're really serious about using only free-as-in-libre software.
Even then, I'd suggest LibreWolf , which has similar goals but is more up to date in capabilities and appears to be better maintained. And if you still want to block non-Free JavaScript, you can install GNU LibreJS on there.

A lighter fork of Firefox, works great on low-end android devices
It blocks its own Add-on Site link as insecure. Need I say more?

Not discontinued
I really like(d) it! Is it permanently discontinued??? because I have used it recently & it seemed to work very well still. The web page, link & download also still seems to be working fine, but I temporarily (I hope) stopped using it when I heard it was not being updated for now. Is there a chance of it's return? I love the Gnu Cat privacy features as well (such as Libre JS, Https everywhere, & fingerprinting protection. (The name Ice Cat is cute too)... crossing my fingers that it retain it's goodness while becoming active again...
It is a web browser with freedom and without surveillance!
Good browser but cannot save passwords!!!
