The article says that IceCat is updated to the latest source from Mozilla. But Mozilla is on version 38 while IceCat is still on version 31. It looks obvious false to everyone. But I guess (and hope) that IceCat tails Mozilla Firefox ESR, and not the regular one. I think this should be made more clear. Now it might look abandoned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.102.240.89 ( talk) 18:55, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

The link is still working. There has been a few times when the GNU website has been down. -- MentalNotes ( talk) 08:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I realize that tensions have run high on the issue of the trademark dispute with Mozilla Corp., but it is important for the integrity of Wikipedia that we maintain a neutral point of view about all issues. Someone reverted an edit that changed wording that was slanted against Mozilla to much more neutral wording that stated facts only. There is no legitimate reason to keep this article from maintaining a neutral stance. Seeing as how both sides feel they are "right", it is even more important to maintain this view to accurately represent the facts to parties unfamiliar with the events chronicled here. burnte ( talk) 03:52, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
GNU IceWeasel is now officially known as IceCat [1]. Could someone change this please? 213.10.147.18 ( talk) 20:27, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
There is no mention that I could find in this article of which operating systems this browser is available for. Is it available for Windows, or is it Linux-only, for example? Leevclarke ( talk) 13:50, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
IceCat no longer supports Windows & macOS. The website says "Note that building binary packages for Windows and macOS currently requires non-free software, so we no longer distribute binary releases for those platforms.". https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/IceCat says "GNU IceCat developers dropped support for macOS, and Windows, after version 38.8.0 in 2016.". 104.178.189.70 ( talk) 06:36, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
72.93.82.26 and 70.198.250.84 are the same person, so please consider "their" opinion is only one. - FlyingToaster ( talk) 01:09, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
So there's no significant difference between this and Firefox? Why isn't this just a tiny section on the Firefox page? - 67.51.67.62 ( talk) 21:13, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
A comparison between the 3 would be nice. -- 85.131.22.173 ( talk) 16:01, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
What is a " rebranding" and why is the derivation of the current name so important? -- Uncle Ed ( talk) 00:18, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
See my edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=GNU_IceCat&diff=555213117&oldid=540425425 I'm not sure if I should have changed the text about the icons. They might be using tri-licensing still, unlikely, MPL 2.0, or maybe a GNU license? Comp.arch ( talk) 13:59, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
The article stresses branding and trademark too much, when according to GNU itself the main purpose of GNU Icecat is to remove nonfree software and nonfree addon recommendations so that the browser becomes compatible with the distribution terms of FSF-endorsed distributions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.167.242.55 ( talk) 14:05, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
From the looks of git (2 weeks ago), it seems the new version (esr of-course) development is in progress. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git/commit/?h=68 Vishal Bakhai - Works 17:32, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
