Why are privacy/copyleft advocates so bad at naming?
What would you call it instead?
We already have (had) Iceweasel, IceCat and Waterfox among others. All nice word plays on the original Firefox name. LibreWolf follows along the same path.
You don't have to use the exact same naming scheme. But even if you did it's pretty trivial to come up with better names. I bet even ChatGPT can do it. Here's the list it came up with for me:
Ok most are pretty trash but Stonehawk is good. Maybe Thunderwolf. Still better than LibreWolf.
don’t sleep on frost owl. Owl heads are kind of round so it would make a good icon.
