Abrowser
Abrowser is the default web browser for Trisquel, Trisquel Mini and Triskel. Abrowser is Trisquel's version of Mozilla's popular web browser with the trademarked logos replaced. Replacing the trademarked logos gets rid of the trademark restriction that forbids selling the software, which would have effectively made it non-free software.
Add-ons
The Trisquel project maintains a list of free software add-ons for Abrowser. It is not currently possible to install add-ons directly from within Abrowser so if you wish to install an add-on you must do so from this site.Support
Further support for Abrowser can be found in the user forum or the official IRC channel (#trisquel on irc.libera.chat). Also, please help the project by submitting bug reports.Resisting Fingerprinting
By default, Abrowser resets browser geometry and zoom level, as privacy features. If you wish to disable these features, you can do so by going to about:config and changing privacy.resistFingerprinting to False.Geo location privacy
By default Abrowser will not share nor ask to share your location, if you require this feature to be enabled, you can do so by going to about:config and changing geo.enabled to True.Machine Learning
Machine learning and LLM introduce privacy issues when using third party services, and for local models they need to be vetted and establish some level of trust by the user. This tool is disabled by default, you can manage this by searching for browser.ml in about:config.Firefox Relay and other services
Abrowser disables Firefox Relay service by default, as any third party service should not be enabled by default, but by user specific decision. Please report if any new Mozilla / Firefox service might be enabled by default on a new release.About Abrowser, IceCat and Trisquel
Ruben, the main developer of Trisquel has commented on the reasoning of maintaining two separate, yet very similar, browsers in the following Reddit thread. To sum up from Ruben's writing: "Abrowser, other that saner default settings to improve privacy, is pretty much Firefox and should provide a quite "neutral" browsing experience. IceCat on the other hand includes more aggressive freedom and privacy features".
