Gregory's Server@downey instead of flat out locking people out, it should be standard to instead have "It appears you're using an unsupported browser, use firefox chrome blah blah blah, click here to proceed anyway, some elements may not appear or work correctly"

  @engarneering to think that they used to show up to open source conferences....  @dentangle @kitsune @downey A competent dev *with enough budget*. But they should never lock one out though. Although warning if they are using ie7 or earlier that you can't guarantee that your layout isn't completely janky on browsers that are not standards compliant is fine  @dentangle @kitsune @downey I learned to hack the User-Agent string in the late 1990s when I got locked out of websites for not using IE. (Which I couldn't. Because Linux.)  |

I don't mind a disclaimer or reminder.
But this is an anti-pattern I've seen start to creep up on several web sites lately.
