That's very helpful.
Not sure about other platforms, but on windows, after install, at first
run, Icecat made connection to incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org.
I found that the telemetry url is hardcoded pretty much all over.
I looked at the git commit you suggested and it is clearly visible
that in makeicecat something like this is missing.
```
# Disable telemetry pings
grep -rl TELEMETRY_BASE_URL | xargs -r sed -i
's|"https://incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org/submit"|""|'
grep -rl '"https://incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org"'| xargs -r sed -i
's|"https://incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org"|"http://127.0.0.1"|'
...
```
I was actually doing that yesterday. Lookin around for the telemetry
url(s) and try to add some find/grep/sed commands to makeicecat in
order to remove or change those.
I'll see if I can submit a patch proposal.
Thank you
Chip
