If you check the git repository above, I think you'll find that it has
not been updated in over 3 years, and that most (if not all) of the
sites that it redirects to no longer work.  Therefore, I see no benefit
to adding this package in its current form.

There's also an additional problem: GNU IceCat comes bundled with a
modified and updated version of this extension.  I have concerns about
how GNU IceCat might be affected if this extremely out-of-date extension
is installed in the user's profile.

What do you think?

      Thanks,
        Mark

Just tried 'guix shell icecat privacy-redirect-icecat', IceCat uses the bundled
one.

How about using the source from IceCat for this package?


Thanks
