    Best to switch to Firefox anyways, or even better privacy enhanced LibreWolf

    This project is a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM.

        As someone who doesn’t mind this name, what makes it bad?

        EDIT: Someone below said difficult pronunciation. So talking about it in real life would be difficult.

        It also might be relevant that I am very bad at naming things myself.

          You don’t have to use the exact same <element><animal> 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:

          1. Thunderwolf
          2. Breezefalcon
          3. Stonehawk
          4. Blazeleopard
          5. Rainlynx
          6. Frostowl
          7. Lightningpanther
          8. Shadowraven
          9. Solarfox
          10. Cloudtiger

          Ok most are pretty trash but Stonehawk is good. Maybe Thunderwolf. Still better than LibreWolf.

                  the largest problem with librewolf is the difficult pronunciation, I think, just as with forgejo. stonehawk is easy, as is not a terrible name either. maybe “stone” is not terribly interesting, though. but it still seems to be an improvement for me.

                  what is your take on it? why do you think it’s not better?

          You obviously don’t need those to come up with a good name; just some taste. Signal is a great example. Ladybird and Servo are good browser names if you want to stick to that. LibreWolf? Jesus, come on guys. Forgejo is another terrible name I heard recently. Apparently it’s Esperanto, like that makes it ok somehow.

            God forbid some non-anglophone culture enters our collective consciousness.
