That’s reductionist to the point of stupidity. They are also both words, so I guess there’s no difference between them and this comment? Except words have mean

Except words have meaning, and the differences between these meanings are important.
One set of words is telling you that you are not safe unless you use this browser. It’s implying you’re making a mistake by using Firefox, and in both cases it’s saying “the people who make your computer are telling you to use this thing”. Non technical people are easily fooled by this. It’s scary.
The other one is saying “hey, Safari exists” in the corner of your screen.
There’s a big difference between these two.
- db48x 5y agoThere is no difference. In both cases someone is pushing their opinions or interest into your view. That's advertising, plain and simple. The text of the ad doesn't change that. Apple may not have the advertising bug as bad as Microsoft, but the are both reprehensible. I can't see why anyone would voluntarily use either one of them.
