Personally, I would just use the profile with extensions disabled all
the time so I switched to librewolf which offers better privacy and has
more active development.

Unless there are special things that Icecat does compared to librewolf,
I think we could reproduce a newer icecat by bundling librewolf with the
default icecat extensions. To have the best of both worlds.
