The separation of &quot;Firefox&quot; (brand, UI, browser history, password sync, extensions, etc) from &quot;Gecko&quot; (an implementation of a rendering engine) seems like a good idea to me, even if it was forced by Apple.<p>Gecko stands for nothing; it&#x27;s just code. Whereas the Mozilla &#x2F; Firefox brand stands for things like privacy, security, etc. (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;about&#x2F;manifesto&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;about&#x2F;manifesto&#x2F;</a>)<p>The Firefox&#x2F;Mozilla brand shouldn&#x27;t be tied to Gecko or any other specific piece of code.
