- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of

in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

I remember Mac os ignoring my default browser choice many times and instead launching a web page in safari.
Does Mac prohibit other browser engines like they do on iOS?
Doesn't do a lot of good, that they let you use other browsers if they are just reskins for Safari.
MacOS is actually far more open to low level system UI tweaks and app support than windows.
They do not.
True, I forgot that part. Thanks! Still, it comes as weird for me to have software (zero tied to OS functions ) I cannot remove
Mac literally doesn't allow any other browser engine. They only allow webkit.
So your options are:
Safari
Safari with Chrome aesthetics
Safari with Firefox aesthetics
Safari with [insert browser here] aesthetics
