• Grassroots evangelism: Sites that actively block browsers other than I.E.

    October 16th, 2007 by seth bindernagel with no comments »

    The site below has been sent to me from a few people and I thought I would put it out there in case others haven’t seen it.

    The opening quote from the site:

    “The following is a list of sites that actively block browsers other than Internet Explorer or have some serious problem that prevents the site from being usable in Firefox. Come on people! Its 2007 already, NOT 1997! Get with this century! There is no excuse for these kinds of sites!”

    As a sports fan, I was surprised to see that http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/gamechannel was on the list and so I visited the site. Sure enough, here is the screen shot.

    I guess that’s why I never go to sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/gamechannel to catch up on the Cal Golden Bears or Ohio State Buckeyes games.

    It would be nice to get some of these sites to come around, so many thanks to those who helped put this together. And, as the creator of the site mentions:

    “Despite all of that, if you choose to send e-mail to the web masters please do not flame them, send something constructive like the Mozilla Site Evangelism Letters
