Discussion and reviews of Iceraven

One comment on a Reddit post about Iceraven notes that their release schedule is pretty erratic and Iceraven sometimes lags well behind what the latest version of Firefox is; which is a serious consideration if that means that the latest bug & security fixes aren't immediately incorporated.

Another poster noted that Iceraven gives no warranties or guarantees of security, updates or stability.

Someone else notes that while it seems a bit faster, it's basically just the same as Firefox with a few additional features.
