That’s a tricky one; in my head I’ve been pronouncing it like “floor” with a “p” on the end, but then again with “oo” it could just as easily be “FLEW-erp”.

Check out this thread from Hacker News: Floorp – A customisable Firefox fork from Japan | Hacker News

Phonetically - as a Japanese speaking person - how would this be pronounced?

This website indicates it is pronounced like “flope” (フロープ). https://www.naporitansushi.com/floorp8/

Probably something like “furoaapu”.

I love the last part! Fits perfectly :joy: reading through the comments:

Looks like Floorp in relation to Firefox is the same as Vivaldi in relation to Chrome

This is exactly what I tell people when I have to explain what a fleeewrp is :smile_cat:

I kinda roll my tongue off the inside bottom gum line up to the roof of my mouth. That way it makes a nice, squishy sound. Kinda wet, too. :wink:
