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.

LibreWolf

Why are privacy/copyleft advocates so bad at naming?

[–] andioop 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

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.

Difficult pronunciation and it also sounds like a lame "cool" name that a super nerd would think of.
