Think it should be explicitly stated that it is not available on Mac OS as procfs does not support it
The title `A human-friendly alternative to netstat for socket and port monitoring on Linux` is pretty clear.

Readme only mentions linux, so why bother mentioning Mac OS?
README also leads with a screenshot that has macOS window styling. So, "works on Mac" is a reasonable first impression to draw.
Before you get to that screenshot, you have to get past the big, bold sentence that says "A human-friendly alternative to netstat for socket and port monitoring on Linux.".

I find the output of `ss` very hard to read in comparison to netstat.

#15Is there an option to disable the table mode (or at least horizontal lines, don't care about the others)? It's a lot of wasted space in the terminal if you have lots of connections open.

Cause it's obviously a Rust crate, you would kinda hope that it might compile at MacOs. In 99% of cases that works.
If a Rust crate uses anything from the OS, and doesn't mention that OS, I wouldn't expect it to work on that OS, regardless if it's Windows, Linux or macOS. Just like graphical crates state what APIs they support, and if Metal is not mentioned for example, it is most likely not supported.
