Pros
Cons
Con Mainly just an old Firefox
It is mainly a renamend older version of Firefox that comes preinstalled with some extensions.
Con Dependent on Mozilla
Since IceCat is based off Firefox, it's dependent on all of Mozilla's decisions.
Con Too much bloat
The browser comes with 15 addons installed by default, most of which are useless or ruin one's browsing experience.
Con Can't install some Firefox themes/addons
"Installation aborted because the addon appears to be corrupt".
Con Requires too much unnecessary configuration to use
You have to manually delete all the bloated addons from your files (only for them to show up again when the browser is updated) and manually install some addons and themes that the browser labels as "corrupt".
Con Not up to date
Latest binary is still version 60.7 ESR and was last updated over a year ago

Flagged Pros + Cons
Con Redundant
GNU IceCat is just a polished version of an older Firefox release. You're better off just applying the same tweaks to Firefox.
