A lot of people here think that using tor through icecat is insecure; i agree.
The topic is too complicated and the guys of the tor project do an awesome work there.

There should not be such a misleading and dangerous feature in trisquel by default.
Unexperienced users might use it and rely on being anonymous while the identity is actually leaked.
I really think that's a big issue in trisquel at the moment.

Wouldn't it be better to include a tiny script that gets the latest tor browser bundle, extracts it and creates a starter in the menu?
We could do more for the privacy of people that way.

The problem is not the insecurity by itself (you are more anonymous using IceCat instead of Abrowser) but the false sense of total anonymity.

The only way to keep all your information safe, is to NOT use the internet. hahaha>

But I agree with the previous post.

Also: You do not have to use IceCat. (:
