For example, Trisquel uses an unbranded version of the Firefox browser, called Abrowser. Second, when developers take out a non-free component, they also have to ensure that they slot in the free version without adversely affecting other components, which is an involved and cumbersome process.Ī positive side effect of the deep cleanse is that the distribution is free of any tracking code.
