# ICE - SSB Manager

## Copyright

(C) 2010 - 2021 -- Mark Greaves

Released under GNU General Public License version 2

## Description

Application to easily add and remove Chromium site specific

browsers in Debian and Ubuntu based Linux distributions. It

was originally created for Peppermint OS Ice and is now used

as the default SSB application in Peppermint OS since the

two branches of the OS merged for Peppermint Two. Since

version 5, Ice has supported Google Chrome.

Ice now supports Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, and Vivaldi.

Chrome, Chromium, and Vivaldi SSB's can now be completely

isolated from each other (or use the shared master browser

profile) Firefox SSB's are always isolated.

## Dependencies

Ice depends on one of the above browsers being installed.

It's also possible to use it with any build of Google Chrome

however this is something that is hard coded into the app

and will need to be manually changed if one wishes to use it

in such a manner.

## Usage

Ice creates .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications

and removes them from the same directory. Ice doesn't remove

downloaded icons, rather it overwrites them in the case that

the user adds back an SSB after removing it. In the event

that an icon is not available when attempting to download,

a stock version of the Ice icon will be used instead. The

user has the ability to specify any local icon should they

so choose.

This application does not use a standard means of applying

translations. It handles it's own translations by itself

using it's own means of doing so. If you would like to

contribute translations (please do), then please contact me

and I will make sure you have the necessary details for

doing so.

Ice was originally written for Python 2.6.x and GTK+2. For

version 4.0.0 in April 2014 it was ported to Python 3.x.x

and GTK+3.
