It was first named Phoenix and they ran into issues with the phoenix BIOS because some of their BIOSes had a built in browser. They renamed to Firebird and then found out about the DB with the same name, and that's when they finally renamed to Firefox.

Cool, I've been using RSS Launchpad because it was the only one I found to also work on the android version of Firefox, but I'll take a look 👀
The entrance being behind a paywall is bad, but if you're not aware of it before using the toilet this holds you hostage unable to get clean until you pay up, with either your money or your attention. I'd say this is a more evil design, even though both are evil.
I was hoping qwant, with its own (partial) search index, would be immune to it, but searching for neocities also doesn't show any results for neocities.org there unfortunately, or at least it did not for me.
