As a Firefox user (on Windows) this is not a particularly encouraging prompt x

Pardon me, but what do you think is wrong with the prompt?

It looks terrible? The Firefox prompt is broken.

It doesn't realise I'm on firefox, so doesn't preferentially serve me a primary focus?

Reddit's even worse, if you visit the site from iOS it asks if you want to open the app 'or continue with Safari', whatever browser app you use.

Similar thing on Android. Doesn't matter what browser you use, it asks you to "continue with Chrome".

Really? I was specific about it because I had an Android phone until a few weeks ago, and didn't experience this.
