-        GNUzilla is the GNU version of the Mozilla suite, and GNU
-        IceCat is the GNU version of the Firefox web browser.
-
-        Notable differences from mainline Firefox:
-
-        - entirely free software, no non-free plugins, addons,
-          artwork,
-        - no telemetry, no "studies",
-        - sane privacy and security defaults (for instance, unlike
-          Firefox, IceCat does _zero_ network requests on startup by
-          default, which means that with IceCat you won't need to
-          unplug your Ethernet cable each time you want to create a
-          new browser profile without announcing that action to a
-          bunch of data-hungry corporations),
-        - all essential privacy and security settings can be
-          configured directly from the main screen,
-        - optional first party isolation (like TorBrowser),
-        - comes with HTTPS Everywhere (like TorBrowser), Tor Browser
-          Button (like TorBrowser Bundle), LibreJS, and SpyBlock
-          plugins out of the box.
-
-        This package can be installed together with Firefox and
-        TorBrowser, it will use distinct binary names and profile
-        directories.
