Who the hell cares? Take a deep breath of chill the fuck out and don't read so much into things.

I doubt they spent much time debating which browsers to add here, or that this came out of a strategy meeting with Zuckerberg. I wouldn't be surprised if this was designed before Chrome was popular (perhaps with some styling fixes since then).

Even if they did exclude Chrome intentionally, they are entitled to promote whichever browsers they want to promote for whichever reasonable non-evil reasons they want.

Was it designed before Safari too? This is really pathetic. Nothing to get mad at but still ridiculous from Facebook.

You don't need to download Safari on the Mac and Safari on Windows is, well, not the best experience ever so I understand them not actively recommending it.

Is it? With all the modern webkit only extensions and prefix usage, FB promoting browser diversity seems like strictly a good thing!

"really pathetic"?

I'm going to assume you've never done anything so pathetic in your life as to leave a web page with something less than the latest, greatest, most open sourcey, freedom-loving information.

Agreed, I would guess that very few people ever see this page, so it's likely to have a very small overall impact even though it comes from Facebook.
