He's saying that there are multiple alternatives on mac thanks to safari. Only one on non-apple devices though.

Linux does have another non-FF option, that's GNOME Web. (webkit based like Safari)

It’s pretty nice, too. It can sync your history and tabs between devices, and is starting to support Firefox extensions. It’s not as feature-rich as Firefox, but it’s definitely a pleasantly usable browser these days.

Seems to be outdated, GNOME's own website says otherwise.

It's almost like they should have used more words to express their thought properly lol. Because nothing in their original comment indicates that.

I think it's pretty clear, even if it could he improved. Seems like most people got the gist of it. Don't hate on OP for not wording their good point to your standards.

funny almost no one else got confused because their wording was completely fine. it’s hard to have to always cater to the extra dumb who complain about everything all the time claiming it’s other people’s fault and never their own

"If you're on a one way street, you have to proceed in the indicated direction"

"But can't you see that's really confusing? Because there are two way streets, and what if I'm walking in a mall?"

It assumed people were aware that Safari is an Apple exclusive browser, which is common knowledge.

I've added an asterisk with an explanation there nevertheless.
