I’m failing to understand what’s the need of searching for Chrome or Edge to install Firefox

Per this comment, and the project itself, Firefox isn't supported.
Although, it seems the about page now suggests Firefox is supported
Yeah that's what I want to do on steam... go to a website.
As per their description supports Chrome, Edge, Safari.
It didn't work in Firefox first, but not it seems to load the page fine. I guess it was a temporary issue.
With full controller support and a carefully curated game collection, enjoy timeless classics and hidden gems, readily available for instant play in your web browser on devices you already own.
DOS_deck runs seamlessly on Steam Deck, Mac, and Windows using Chrome, Edge or Safari. Whether you prefer playing on a TV or a laptop screen, using a gamepad or mouse and keyboard, DOS_deck adapts to your gaming style.
DOS_deck is built upon the foundation of JS-DOS, which, in turn, relies on DOSBox.
DOS_deck only offers legally distributable games. Each and every game is checked and verified to be either: Shareware, Freeware, Demo, Liberated
As opposed to all of the people who are paying to play DOS games on any other platform.
Are there any equivalents for BBC Micro or Acorn Electron? I’m tempted to try Elite (the original) on Steam Deck, and while I did once download a copy for free on a previous laptop (when the devs were celebrating an anniversary a few years back), I don’t know if that version is compatible with Deck.
I don't understand? You can download Dosbox and Dosbox-X in desktop mode and add them to Steam like other apps. Why do you need a website?
let them eat cake
This entire article is utterly baffling if you know anything at all about what they're talking about. What the absolute hell did I just read?
Here's my logic. You can be elitist and know how to do the thing that this article is conveying already. Lemmy is populated by an overwhelming number of users who are technically capable of doing the thing this article is conveying. But there's another wave of complaints that Lemmy lacks content, therefore cannot grow. This is content. And I submitted it, in the hopes that someone who is less technical doesn't give up on this platform and go elsewhere.
The conversations revolving around the lack of content on lemmy aren't taking into consideration the success of other reddit alternatives like Tildes. Tildes is busier than lemmy. Nurture the platform, criticize the writing if you must, but be constructive. If you have something to add to the conversation, add it.
This should be used as Lemmy copypasta. Very well said.
