Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] IceCat browser default on Windows 7?

[Daniel Quintiliani]

You think that people who, through no fault of their own, can only afford cheap 
laptops, or are stuck with Secure Boot and TPM because they lack technical 
expertise to build a computer, should be forced to use unfree browsers like 
Edge and Chrome, or the privacy settings of Firefox? I have two computers, one 
Win10 and one Xubuntu, both of which I built myself. I need the Windows 
computer for a few unfree things, mainly as a substitute for a television for 
my bedroom, and when I'm stuck with this pretty DRM machine for whatever 
reason, I'd rather use a GNU project browser than DRM and privacy risks like 
Edge, Chrome, and Firefox. Wouldn't you?
