Here's a good reason not to install Iceraven:

> No warranties or guarantees of security or updates

In general it's fine for users to fork software to scratch their own itches. But browsers are super security sensitive.

That's just their way of saying "we don't have to build this for you". They merge upstream changes, as long as the project is maintained you'll get those updates as they're released. Last I checked you can't sue Mozilla for a security vulnerability and the open source license has a clause about no warrant of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. They don't guarantee security either.
