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.
- felarof 1y agoThanks 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/ 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.
- sevg 1y agoIt 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).
- Sophira 1y agoYou stated in the parent comment that you used GPT4o to generate it, but now you're saying you had a professionally made icon? I don't understand.
