Names are important. If everyone's talking about the name, it's probably a bad one. Choosing a good name requires an understanding of the context of your product/service and your audience (i.e. don't name a developer-centric product "bro" in 2014, unless you're looking for some drama). I honestly thought this was a tool that highlighted overhyped substance-less links.
Obviously, for a non-commercial browser extension, it's not a big deal. But in any case I wouldn't blame the people for reacting to the name, I would blame the creator for choosing a bad one.

People getting caught up on the name of something rather than discussing the thing itself, it's like bro[1][2] all over again.
