Feature request related to:
A humble suggestion for an alternate name : reheaded fangless
Describe the solution you'd like
Alternate names could continue with the head pun with "Headful" etc. or you could add another word to highlight the "even more safe browsing" capabilities.
Or I would like to suggest reheaded fangless browser.
reheadedas in what you might to a zombie or body that had been beheaded and hat-tipfanglessbecause people are still thinking head less - and adding fangless adds a subtle notion that something is still "headless"
Describe alternatives you've considered
Product Topic/Feature
Has a UI chrome (aka "a head")
reheadedheadfulmaskedblinking(as is something that can blink at least has eyes and we assume eyes are near the head - and it's a hat-tip to the tag
"More Safe Browsing Mode"

Additional context
the 'fangless' part is actually based on the world of contracts.
backstory
In the world of contracts it is often asked if some contract language "has teeth" As in, "will this contract bite them if they misbehave", or "will it bite us if we misbehave". Often this is even discussed as if the contract has been "given fangs"... if it will bite hard.
So in a world where large corporations would like to co-opt my browser such that it does things i don't want and didn't ask it to do.. Something that is "fangless" has all power removed from it if it wanted to bite me from my own browser, if it tries nothing will happen. Also, it plays nicely on the capital markets acronym term of 'FANG' who are the largest purveyor of sites that try to use my browser to bite me.

I like this! But I'm not ready to change the name. Not sure when I will be, but when and if I am I'll definitely think about this.
