Put it this way: How would you like it if, when you upgraded your browser, many sites you visit regularly (e.g. news sites, your bank, Google, or whatever) that used to work, no longer do in the new version? Sure, you could argue that such sites should be fixed. But, in reality, many sites are just going to tell users to use another browser, and many users are going to complain about the browser no longer working and file bug reports. That doesn't help anyone, that just punishes users. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
