To be fair, that seems to be precisely what this post proposes. If you are unhappy with Google, you can switch "easily."
That said, I would at least agree that this post is has a lack of any real substance and is low effort. Generally speaking, most people are familiar with Firefox, which holds even more accurate here on _Hacker News_. I would speculate many are also familiar with the initial "import" process offered by Firefox and competing browsers alike. So I am unsure of the goal of this post. I wouldn't go so far as to call it outright _spam_, but I do not think it warrants frontpage presence either.
What??? What does this even mean?? We're meant to just sit and watch as more and more control of the internet is taken away from us, in hope that maybe something nice happens?
All this "spam" is meant to raise that usage %!
We need to claw back what little hope remains, or die trying, damn it.
1. Safari is only available for macOS and iOS. There's no widely available, up to date browser based on non-Blink WebKit, and it's unlikely there will be, as it's rather tied to Apple OS APIs.
2. Aside from Firefox, all browsers that are available for all major operating systems are based on Chromium/Blink, and consequently will inherit Google's architectural decisions, and on a sociopolitical level, enhance Google's domination of the Web.
I get why someone might want Safari, what I'm asking is why the download link is on the front page of HN when there's no opinion nor perspective. I keep hearing "it's not an ad" but then...what is it?
