@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.)
