Those other browsers are browsers whose highest market share is on Windows, ported to Mac. I’m sure that in that context it seems the best way to express a control-click is to pretend it’s a right-click.

Keep in mind that you might have a multiple button mouse and to send a click on the left button with the control key held down through as a click on the right button is a lie, and will make distinct events (control click on left button vs. control click on right button) look identical to the web page.

The primary web browser on Mac with the largest market share has told the truth about these events to webpages for 8 years without major incompatibilities arising.

I’m not sure it’s urgent to change WebKit and Safari to tell this lie, just because ported Windows browsers are doing so.
