But why is the icon a compass though?

[gurkendoktor]

I actually think it makes the name work. It'd feel a little childish if the browser was called Safari and the icon would show a jeep or binoculars.

[arrrg]

Because you use it to navigate, also on Safaris?

That’s one of those things that make perfect sense to me. I’m mystified in what respect that would not be a fitting icon. It’s certainly better than an “e”.

When you're on a safari in amazonas, that's what you need in order to find your way (well, nowadays a GPS might do wonders, but when the name safari was historically established, there was no gps)

Trust me, when you're out in the boondocks, you still want a compass. Sure, GPS is great. Until you can't find a satellite, or it runs out of batteries, or a gazillion other things that can go wrong with electronics in the wilderness.
