It's Ice Weasel! I remember that from my old Debian days when Firefox got all bent out of shape about branding so it showed up as Ice Weasel! I'll be trying out Haiku Beta 5 soon. Keep up the Haiku excitement!
I remember IceWeasel way back in the early 2000s, running slightly more oddball linux distros. It is the "officially unofficial" name of Firefox where it's not distributed by Mozilla as an official build. Mozilla themselves does actually release IceWeasel/IceCat builds where they aren't officially supporting an OS. It's also done wherever the host OS is completely Free Software. The Firefox name and logo are trademarked and so if you want the pure GNU licence version, to qualify as truly free, it's called IceCat instead. I don't know why this version is called IceWeasel though when the preferred name has been IceCat for well over a decade and a half now. IceWeasel is used specifically by Debian though...
@@samwalker7567Debian has had actual Firefox (firefox-esr) packages for a while (at least since Debian 10, perhaps 9), and the last time I remember seeing Iceweasel was Debian 7 or 8.
I love all your Haiku videos. They remind me of the time when I held the very first CD of BeOS 1.0 for the PPC in my hands. I installed it on my Apple PPC 7600/132, and it was blazingly fast! That's why I think it's such a shame that Haiku currently doesn't run on ARM CPUs. 😃
They are working on a RISC-V port afaik. Unfortunately, there's currently a lawsuit against Qualcomm from ARM; though the case is currently jury deadlocked.
@@RichardFraser-y9tUpdate, Qualcomm won two of the three claims that ARM had against them; the third was ultimately jury deadlocked. And yes, there is a RISC-V port of Haiku.
Every now and then someone comes by and gets Haiku's ARM port a little further than before... I think the last round of contributions may actually get us past mounting the boot partition, at least in QEMU (which is pretty far, actually), but then stalled out again. One day...
Do you want to get Doug DeMuro because "THIS" is how we get Doug DeMuro. Say "Quirks and Features" three times into a darkened mirror and they say he will appear.

BeOS was my OS in the 90's before Linux became so easy to use. I tried Haiku but no wifi or Ethernet drivers. I guess I'm too old now to do all that now that Linux mint is just so easy.
Still no multiuser… That's incredibly important for security if Haiku reaches any kind of success and begins to be the target of malicious efforts. Exploits happen, but isolating things into their own sandboxes can really help if you keep the attack surface to potentially escape the sandbox very small and audit the crap out of it. I like Haiku. It's not there yet, but it could be sooner than people think.
I recently installed Haiku on a 20-year-old Socket 478 machine, it ran surprisingly well with basic tasks despite not having networking (I don't have ethernet and while I have a Wi-Fi USB stick, it needs a driver, and the included driver disc doesn't work on even Windows 7). Unfortunately, the computer doesn't get along well with Haiku, as I need to select the fail-safe video driver option when it boots. It's probably better that I find something else to put Haiku on, which won't be too much of a challenge.
You can permanently enable the fail-safe video mode by editing the `~/config/settings/kernel` file (look for "fail_safe_video_mode"), or by "blocklisting" the faulty graphics driver from loading (see guidelines on the website.) That way you won't need to enter the bootloader menu every time. Haiku does support most USB WiFi adapters also supported by FreeBSD, so if you check FreeBSD's USB WiFi compatibility lists, they should apply to Haiku too.

I'm lovin' the Haiku content. I don't know why I didn't get a BeBox when they came out. I played with one and loved it then. The twin PPC603s, and it had some kind of weird expansion port just begging to be hacked.
Well for me it's not until I can have Neovim-nvchad, doom emacs, helix, zellij and kjv packages on a Haiku system. But this is a step in the right direction. Well done Haikuports devs!!!
You could totally do that because of the built-in terminal emulator, but it's not exactly how you're supposed to use Haiku. It's GUI-first, so CLI tools won't integrate well.
@@eMorphized It's a POSIX system making it easy to bring Nixy stuff over from Linux and BSD to Haiku. And CLI is just easier to port than heckin' VSCodium and Obsidian. In terms of FS Heirarchy, the quirks are certainly not lost on me.

(3:18) I hadn't seen unofficial builds of any Firefox Quantum releases (Firefox 57.0 and newer), so I didn't realise those unofficial builds identify themselves as Firefox nightly builds! (Unofficial builds of Firefox 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4 identify themselves as 'Firefox', 'Bon Echo', 'Minefield', and 'Shiretoke' if I recall correctly). Iceweasel, Icedove, and Iceape were Debian's rebranding of Firefox, Thunderbird, and the SeaMonkey suite respectively due to issues using Mozilla trademarks, which were eventually resolved resulting in transitional packages for Debian 6, 7, and 8. The Wikipedia article mentions that at least Iceweasel still lives on in the Parabola project, so maybe that's where this Haiku port came from.
(One of the Haiku developers here.) Actually it's just that we needed some name besides "Firefox" or "Nightly" that wasn't trademarked, so we went with "Iceweasel". Internally the codebase is from Firefox 128.5 ESR (with many Haiku patches of course.)

Nice but it is based on firefox ESR which has an old user agent
I have that same case too.
(3:18) I hadn't seen unofficial builds of any Firefox Quantum releases (Firefox 57.0 and newer), so I didn't realise those unofficial builds identify themselves as Firefox nightly builds! (Unofficial builds of Firefox 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4 identify themselves as 'Firefox', 'Bon Echo', 'Minefield', and 'Shiretoke' if I recall correctly).
Iceweasel, Icedove, and Iceape were Debian's rebranding of Firefox, Thunderbird, and the SeaMonkey suite respectively due to issues using Mozilla trademarks, which were eventually resolved resulting in transitional packages for Debian 6, 7, and 8. The Wikipedia article mentions that at least Iceweasel still lives on in the Parabola project, so maybe that's where this Haiku port came from.
(One of the Haiku developers here.) Actually it's just that we needed some name besides "Firefox" or "Nightly" that wasn't trademarked, so we went with "Iceweasel". Internally the codebase is from Firefox 128.5 ESR (with many Haiku patches of course.)
