If a site owner wants to have that much control why not narrow the redirects to browsers that actually don't work on the site? I've seen NO this or that browser more often than I see NO this or that browser below version x, then again I'm always using the latest version of whatever browser I'm on.
Because some of us care about furthering the web and using a 12 year old browser, or a browser that likes to render things how it wants and not to the standards, is detrimental to the furthering of the web.

Telling people to upgrade to newer browsers hasn't been very successful, resorting to blocking them has... Can't view the site, what do you do? Upgrade your old system.
