Notable features include:
* `about:config` support
* The ability to *attempt* to install a much longer list of add-ons than Mozilla's Fenix version of Firefox accepts. Currently the browser queries [this AMO collection](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/16201230/What-I-want-on-Fenix/) **Most of them will not work**, because they depend on code that Mozilla is still working on writing in `android-components`, but you may attempt to install them. If you don't see an add-on you want, you can [request it](https://github.com/interfect/fenix/issues/new).
* **No warranties or guarantee of security or updates**. Binaries are currently are manually built and are not meaningfully signed. Why should you trust random people on the Internet to provide your web browser, one of the most important pieces of software you use? You probably shouldn't. Go away.

Iceweasle Mobile could not exist without the hardworking folks at the Mozilla Corporation who work on the Mozilla Android Components and Firefox projects, but it is not a Mozilla product, and is not provided, endorsed, vetted, approved, or secured by Mozilla.
In addition, we intend to try to cut down on telemetry and proprietary code to as great of an extent as possible as long as doing so does not compromise the user experience or make the fork too hard to maintain. **Right now, the Iceweasle Mobile browser still (tries to) send telemetry to Mozilla, even though it's not their browser.** We haven't managed to turn it off yet. Presumably that data is governed by Mozilla's privacy policy, but as Iceweasle Mobile is, again **not a Mozilla product**, we can make no promises.

Iceweasel Mobile combines the power of Fenix (Of which we are a fork) and the spirit of Fennec, with a respectful nod toward the grand tradition of Netscape Navigator, from which all Gecko-based projects came, including the earliest of our predecessors, the old Mozilla Phoenix and Mozilla Firefox desktop browsers.

Iceweasel Mobile also honors the spirit of the Debian Iceweasel desktop Firefox forks of 2005, for which we are named. We have **no affiliation** with ([Parabola GNU/Linux-libre](https://www.parabola.nu/)), current maintainers of the "Iceweasle" desktop browser.
