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:

Thunderwolf
Breezefalcon
Stonehawk
Blazeleopard
Rainlynx
Frostowl
Lightningpanther
Shadowraven
Solarfox
Cloudtiger

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

everyone could do it

…proceeds to not do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You don't think Stonehawk is a better name than LibreWolf? Kind of proving my point there.

[–] sukhmel 2 points 1 hour ago

No, I don't, does that also prove your point?
