Why a fox? The browser is based on Chrome. Firefox basically owns having a fox as a mascot in the browser space. Why not pick something original? The fox confusing at best, but some may say misleading. Same goes for the name.
Thanks for the feedback. Honestly—we just reused the icon we had gotten professionally designed for the last idea we were working on (https://felafax.ai/).
But not gonna lie, as a tiny startup, we don’t have marketing budget of Perplexity or Dia, so we picked a name and icon that at least hinted at “browser” right away. Definitely not trying to mislead anyone -- just needed something recognizable out of the gate.
It doesn’t look like you reused that icon. It looks like you generated a new one with AI. So it could have been any animal (or not even an animal at all).
