What is the Brower name of Serpent/UXP

Unread post by cicyyang »

I am using the browser download from
https://o.rthost.win/basilisk/basilisk52-g4.8.win32-git-20220122-f94c0da-uxp-b0eda70ed-xpmod.7z

Have set it as the default browser now.

But I am very confuse with the browser name.
Serpent , Basilisk, even Pale Moon.

Why "Serpent" is more in the language files than 'Basilisk" ?
And the browser calls itself "Serpent".
The star page named "Serpent Start page". The help menu shows "Serpent Help"/ "About Serpent" items.
But why the execute filename is basilisk.exe, not serpent.exe?

it's derived from Basilisk, and roytam1 didn't bother changing the executable name (what's the point)

and Basilisk is a testbed for Pale Moon things, basically.

Serpent is 'debranded' name for basilisk as unofficial builds cannot use branding as per MPL

So can I replace all 'Serpent' to 'Basilisk' in language files ?
Or rename basilisk.exe into serpent.exe.

When someone ask me "what`s the name of your default bowser ?" How do I answer?
Basilisk? But the bowser interface show 'Serpent'
Serpent? The execute file and the diractory named 'Basilisk'

I have recently read a two months old news, is it true that the devs will drop the original Basilisk browser due to its poor marketshare ?

I wonder myself what the real name is because I have found the Moon logo in the Serpent browser :shock:
