Why are all browser logos round?

Because the idea of using a single pixel height logo really didn't take off?

That might be the case. Don't forget this site though. :)

I'm just guessing, but I believe it's related to the way browsers where first introduced - connect to the World. The globe. You gain access the "a world of information" etc. I guess that rhetoric stuck. So, working as a designer for Vivaldi (the browser) and being involved in designing our own icon, we felt it was natural for us to counter this. We're the square peg (in a round hole) of browsers, literally.

Yes, you're actually very cool. Having gone upstream (or up-fjord?) for twenty years (couting Opera as well) is worth respect.
