        [ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider
        [ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,
        [ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example.

    It seems that Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, at least, do not
    refer to themselves as "browser" or anything else, beyond their
    names.  Clearly they didn't worry too much about finding a name
    that suggests "browsing" to potential users.

Perhaps they expect users to run them via icons or menus
and not with M-x.

Also, those programs are extremely well known, and the people who
use them use them daily.  So people don't have a problem of wanting
to use them and not recalling their names.

It is otherwise with lots of facilities in Emacs.
