    Wait what? Then wtf is the point of that message? “Your operating system is not supported”, except that it totally fucking is.

      I’d assume it is not supported as in if you ask them for tech support and they realize you’re not running Windows they’ll happily tell you to pound sand.

      Yeah, and browsers are running the same engines across platforms, so there are very few differences between using Firefox on Linux and using Firefox on Windows. My best guess is what @Chronographs@lemmy.zip said, that it’s just allowlisting new Windows user agents and was intended to target people running ancient versions of Windows.
