The whole point of GNU Icecat is to subvert the telemetry/nonfree/privacy-violating things in Firefox while remaining as similar to the source as possible. The fact that you dismiss all Firefox forks as though they are just inherently comprimised without any grasp for what the point of the project is just shows your ignorance.
Also, the article you cite is totally misleading. Mozilla's "war" on fake news is easily one of the least concerning things Firefox has ever done. If you're making an infograph on secure browsers, you could have easily cited articles talking about Mozilla's telemetry and much more discernable, technical bullshit, not to mention pretty much everything gHacks as ever covered on Firefox. So, even on the needlessy paranoid front, your list still manages to suck more than it ever should.
Also, Uzbl is a webkit browser, not a text browser. So it just shows us that you clearly have never used all of the browsers you're shit talking here.
And you didn't even mention Dooble, a project that is incredibly vocal about making their browser both free and privacy-protecting.
So here you are, needlessly mentioning all these proprietary, blatantly malicious browsers that no one would have known about anyway, but you aren't even willing to acknowledge free projects that are actually making a concerted effort to do something good for the World. That would easily fit your criteria of what a good, safe browser could be.

I don't think it was ever proprietary, although I can understand how you were probably swayed by the rumors and misinformation--all of which probably stemmed from their business model, which, admittedly, reeks of the musk of venture capitalists and startup culture; but the software in itself is licensed under MPL, just like Firefox.

Syncthing is a bit of a battery hog on android. Not unusably so, but something to be aware of.

You can manually upload/download files and folders outside of DCIM, but there's no way to do it automatically.

Every other Firefox fork has a huge, red asterisk next to it. Pale Moon, while you're technically true, isn't really a Firefox fork in the same way that a browser like Waterfox is, since it was forked from a waaay older version, and it's deviated so far from its source it's really become its own, independent project and thus not affected by the actions of Mozilla in the way other forks are.

You're right. I think calling those other browsers forks was misleading, because those projects can and do in fact still have the capacity to exchange code between each other and are pretty much cross-compatible as a result. The main difference, really, for most of these browsers is mostly ideological, but they still rely heavily on upstream.
So they aren't really forks. They aren't even independent projects in the way that Pale Moon is. So there's a difference between those Firefox-based browsers and Pale Moon.

I wonder why. Spying is spying, no matter who's doing it. Comodo Dragon is even worse with it than Google and that's something to behold. Not to mention that they are lying and use Google Analytics anyways, spiced up with their own and their (((partners))) spyware. One of the worst browsers.

He's very dedicated to it. He did two crowdfunding campaigns (in two years) so he'd be able to work full-time on it in the summer, because he needs to eat and pay rent.
The development all happens out in the open, so the results of the campaigns are easily verifiable (especially the first one because that's completely over). Read about it in the development blog, for example:
https://blog.qutebrowser.org/
I don't think any of the standard issues with crowdfunding campaigns apply here. He delivered and it's all very visible.
The developer posts here sometimes, and he cares about privacy and security. qutebrowser is completely free of anti-features, and there's no indication that will change. I can vouch for qutebrowser. It probably belongs in your Minimalist Tier.

I think Chromium is compromised in ways the average technically proficient software engineer could only imagine. Chromium is indirectly the fruit of google which is completely and totally compromised by several Advanced Persistent Threats with state actor resources at their disposal. It took decades to find an innocuous vulnerability in microprocessor hardware everyone had access to and functionally understood. When you're talking about pieces of software as large, complex and connected as a modern web browser trust is important; just because the source is available doesn't by itself make the software trustworthy.
It may be obfuscated telemetry, it may be other very subtle weaknesses or identifiers present.

>What's wrong with Signal?
Not that Anon but I looked into it myself. Personal red flags:
>Signal relies on centralized servers that are maintained by Open Whisper Systems
>The servers store registered users' phone numbers, public key material and push tokens which are necessary for setting up calls and transmitting messages.
>In May 2016, Moxie Marlinspike wrote that federation with the CyanogenMod servers degraded the user experience and held back development, and that Open Whisper Systems' servers will probably not federate with other servers again
>In May 2016, Signal's lead developer Moxie Marlinspike requested that a third-party client called LibreSignal not use the Signal service or the Signal name.[89] As a result, on 24 May 2016 the LibreSignal project posted that the project was "abandoned".[90]
For me personally I don't want to use anything centralized, the only thing I would accept is components that rely on centralized servers for things like discovery or bootstrapping.
For me the choices I'm still looking at are XMPP and Matrix since you can host everything yourself and use whatever client you like. As long as that's the case you can rely on it existing as long as you or someone else is willing to host and if you don't trust 1 server you can always use another or your own.
I'm looking forward to seeing if anyone does anything interesting with IPFS for chat. The Orbit project is interesting but it and IPFS itself are still immature.
XMPP seems to be the way to go for at least the next few years. I see people pushing Matrix but I don't know enough about it to compare it with XMPP, the only thing I know so far is that I don't like any of the server or client software that exists right now, which doesn't help motivate me to learn more about it, if it turns out to only be marginally better than XMPP I'll still have to wait for people to write better implementations (I'm not doing it myself).
XMPP has a lot of choices for both servers, clients, and extensions. The age leads to maturity in all of those as well; optimized and fault tolerant on the servers, well integrated, platform native feeling clients.
If anyone wants to pitch matrix or something else to me, and compare it with XMPP, I'd like that.

Disregarded on the basis that it's a /g/ project where most contributors have my little pony avatars.
A serious answer is that it's immature and unfinished, their goals are about secure chat and they have numerous reports of leaking user data. It's simply too young and too unpopular at the moment, it requires more people banging on it to raise my confidence in the protocol and implementations of it, as well as more contributors.
In concept it's not bad, but it's really easy to have a good concept, it's another thing to implement that concept, and implement it correctly.

NSA WATCHES YOU MASTURBATE ON YOUR COMPUTER USING JAVASCRIPT
Of course meltdown/spectre are not the only vulnerabilities, NSA will be very happy to continue watching your while you struggle with slow outdated unmaintaned software and the illusion that you're secure!
Browsers such as Pale Moon, WaterFox, Vivaldi, IceCat canh be worse than using Chromium!
Yes! You heard that right!
You pieces of shit still living on your mom's basement really think the most maintained open-source browser in the whole fucking world by people that are much smarter and wiser than all you combined is worse than for instance IceCat which is maintained by one guy who doesn't give a fuck and has plenty of security holes that take ages to get patched after Firefox?
You have idea how pathetic you are, do you?
But yeh, go ahead and use the shitty IceCat browser to browser text based websites, all your manga, chans and waiting 10 hours to load Youtube
Also make sure to continue to use GNU/Linux and not compile from source or audit every piece of code that you use. I've got friends that inject linux exploits into packages, they will be happy to steal your passwords.
Security starts with the hardware. If you didn't build your own computer or don't know how every piece of technology in your system works, than you're already vulnerable. And no one will give a shit how much GOD TIER icons you use.

The real solution, is to use text browser/rss for news. That's the direction.
Now there is still browser that could be use. You can use icecat, and replace the gnu noscript by the regular noscript. You could, if you're a programmer/power user, use qutebrowser, that allows you to do a lot of things, but it asks for a lot of configuration.

nice made up numbers, 90% of normalfags use windows which wasn't vulnerable in the first place, the rest of desktop users are either a) mac users and will get automatic updates or b) linux autists and will have heard about this and updated wpa_supplicant. Which only leaves you with android and iOS, I'm unsure if these are patched through automatic updates, but either way you're unlikely to find unencrypted traffic coming from mobile devices.

Fuck.
I just created a business email using gmail like 4 days ago and I'm already locked out. I even saved the address & password on my computer but they don't fucking work. I was 99% certain that I had linked my phone number to the account precisely for this kind of situation YET when I try to use the recovery options google says, "sorry, cant verify this account is yours" and nothing happens.
I don't even expect to solve this issue, I'm just pissed that all the security measures companies like google have added actually make it HARDER to regain access to an account that has blocked you out for whatever reason. The same shit happened to me when my phone was stolen. I tried to log in via computer to get work shit done but it didn't recognize the device and refused to let me in.

They did it because the project lead considers AdNauseam to be a virus. I think he's retarded for thinking this, but it's not an act of censorship or a moral, it's just a really bad judgment call
I honestly find pale moon fascinating. It has a team of like five people, with one of them contributing the majority of the code, yet the browser somehow still works relatively decently. I honestly think if they had a larger team they could make something that would be a pretty serious threat to mozilla, but as it stands it's just kind of okay-ish

Don't hide stuff, anon.
>Since proponents of this extension will likely be unhappy or have questions as to why, and likely want to be vocal about this addition:
>After investigating the AdNauseam extension's behavior and the results for web publishers, the extension has been added to the Pale Moon blocklist with a severity level of 2 (meaning you won't be able to enable it unless you increase the blocking level in about:config to 3). For those unfamiliar with this extension: it generates false ad "clicks" to ad servers in an attempt to generate "noise" for the ad networks in a protest against the advertising network system as a whole.
>While the premise behind this is similar to poisoning trackers with false fingerprints (which we are proponents of, ourselves), and we normally let users decide for themselves what they want to do with their browser, we are strictly against allowing extensions that cause direct damage (including damage to third parties). There is a subtle but important difference between blocking content and generating fake user interaction.
>As such, this decision to block was made because of the following reasons:
>Generating fake clicks on ads will flag publisher accounts with "invalid traffic". If this kind of traffic persists, it causes damage for the website owners who run ads:
>One facet of damage caused is direct devaluation of ad locations on any and all websites visited by people who have this extension active. This lowers the direct revenue website owners receive for legitimate clicks.
>Another facet of damage caused is direct punishment of publishers who generate more than a minimal amount of invalid traffic - ad networks will in response cull anything that can't be strictly verified as legitimate clicks (often in their sole discretion).
>In extreme cases, publisher accounts may even be shut down entirely.
>Generating this kind of traffic does not achieve its intended goal (providing protest against ad networks or causing advertising to fail for ad networks) since the ones punished are the publishers (those who rely on this revenue) and not the ad networks.
>While it is not considered "click fraud" (because the publisher isn't benefiting from users generating false clicks with AdNauseum -- the opposite, in fact), it is causing problems for the overall health of the Internet economy, especially those who need this kind of revenue to keep their sites and services free to the public.
>Because this extension causes direct and indirect economic damage to website owners, it is classified as malware, and as such blocked.
>This won't be reconsidered unless and until such time as the "ad click generation" feature has been removed from the extension
