You are right, I didn't notice these are bundled.

@micwoj92 See tar tf icecat-bin*.pkg.tar.zst | grep -E '(nss|nspr)'

@fred0r In future, flag.

I see that the PKGBUILD now handles the .desktop file, which is great. In order to function properly on a dock bar and not spawn a new entity without an icon nor title, StartupWMClass wants to be icecat-default.

$ xprop WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "icecat-default"

Switched to icecatbrowser.org binaries because fedora builds seem to be having problems. PKGBUILD has been revised to make switching between sources easier.

Google sites (News, Search, YouTube) no longer work with this version of IceCat. Updating to 115.23.0 from icecatbrowser dot org solves this problem.

Fedora is slightly preferred because rebuild schedule is more consistent and users tend to trust it more. This package has used icecatbrowser.org binaries before, but switched to Fedora when icbo missed a release. Could switch back if needed, but would wait a little while if old release is still functional, to prevent whiplash.

Is there any reason why this is built on top of a fedora package instead of https://icecatbrowser.org/all_downloads.html ?
