LibreWolf

Why are privacy/copyleft advocates so bad at naming?

Mintest, after only just (*inhales)

13 YEARS

finally rebranded to... something starting with "Lua". And I already forget the rest of the name because FOSS people suck at naming.

And I only even remembered the first part because I had once written mods in Lua, Mintest's scripting language of choice. Good luck for name recognition with anybody else.

They usually don't have marketing departments or focus groups.

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.

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.
