From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nothing wrong with Iceraven. It gets updates regularly. I use it on all my android devices.

It seems the main takeaway from these discussions is that we are all fucked because a decent open source non evil independent browser doesn't exist?

In the age where a browser is about the only thing you need.

Shit.

Somebody needs to pull a Linus Torvalds here.
