There already is a browser named Surf, and has been for two decades.

Is it related to the browser NetSurf?

Unfortunately not

Good to know. I have an inkling that this probably slipped under the radar when the SurfApp team were looking at branding and trademarks. Despite the fact that Suckless projects tend to have a somewhat popular following in the *nix community, it's probably pretty obscure anywhere else.

Yeah, no surprise there, I found it only by pure luck, but suckless has been my jam for over a decade.
