I am cautiously optimistic for ladybird. But itll take quite a bit longer to become viable, sadly.

I hope they change the name of the browser at some point, it sounds vaguely promiscuous (maybe because "ladyboy" is the closest word to it). One reason Chrome started taking off in popularity is because tech enthusiasts appreciated its speed and made their friends/relatives download it. Harder to imagine telling my parents to download something called "Ladybird"...

I don't share GP's word association but a possible answer to your question is in your own URL: Coccinella.
