WTF is with webmasters blocking people using a browser other than the one they like?
Yesterday I went to a site that had an unclosable overlay saying that I couldn't use their site unless I got a "modern" browser with links to ones they would accept. I could see the site properly loaded behind it. Other sites will completely redirect you if you are using a browser the site owner personally dislikes. I've had sites block me because they detected I was using Android (in desktop mode).
I can see not optimizing for a browser and letting the surfer know why the site may not function properly and let load what will load, but where is the logic in barring a browser that over half of the people online use? While it may be
L337 to hate on IE I certainly can't imagine turning away over half of my potential customers.
