Hi,

thanks for all Information, I am very happy.

Would it be  a little bit safer to have Icecat in a container?

If so, how to set it up?

and will Guix automatically upgrade it, when it's in a container?

Two issues:

First, the tor project is asking distros not to build the tor browser 
themselves. That includes Guix. That is because a build with Guix will make it 
distinguishable from the tor-browser built by the tor project.

Second, the tor-browser built by the tor project assumes FHS (/bir, /lib, etc) 
which guix doesn.t provide, so you can't run it directly.

Of course it's not great for anonymity since icecat is way more distinguishable 
than the tor-browser built by guix would be.

You could use different profiles in icecat, one with tor settings, one without. 
You can run icecat -P to select profiles.
