Iā€™m working on it. Right now Iā€™m preparing patches and making recipes for haikuports. I also need to prepare binary builds because our builder canā€™t build such big projects.

This build so far has been extremely stable and so far I havenā€™t had a single crash yet while browsing with it. Thank you @3dEyes

I will publish LibreWolf in a few hours, the patches, recipe and binary archive are already prepared. But what to do with ThunderBird? We canā€™t use the given application name. Back when Debian had Iceweasel, the name Icedove was used as a mail client fork. Does it make sense to use it?

Maybe add a seperate topic for ThunderBird? I guess there will a some variables around (not looked around myself there).

PS, thanks on the update! Looking forward on giving LibreWolf a try on Haiku, already switched to that on Windows. :+1:

EDIT: typing from LibreWolf now, thanks!

If tracking is also the problem here, as alternative, you could call it stool pigeon and have an icon with coconuts . It would work well for 80ā€™s nostalgics fans of Kid Creole :smiley:

IceDove sounds like IceDoof in Germanā€¦ FrozenStupid!

Why not name it IceMail?

Ich kann es gerne auf Deutsch als EisTaube Ć¼bersetzenā€¦ : )

No, you donā€™t get the point! FrozenDeaf!

Maybe Ā« IceBird Ā» to remember both Iceweasel and Thunderbird ?

I only mentioned IceDove above for the reason that this name has been used before in Debian similarly to Iceweasel. I donā€™t like both names, to be honest, but KENZ chose Iceweasel, so be it. If I were deciding on a name, I would call the browser FoxPositive and the mail client StormBird.

Sure, but the english name is not the same as the german one.
