I was just browsing the web and came across a blog which denied me access because I was using Chrome! Saying 'Morally Incompatible Browser Detected' and suggesting I try Opera, Firefox or IE!

I admire people who are prepared to stick up for their principles, but this guy is not consistent.
He appears to be objecting to the privacy implications of using Chrome, yet he recommends closed-source browsers such as IE and Opera which may include covert functionality.
Logically, he should be recommending Chromium (which is squeaky-clean from a privacy point of view) as an alternative to Chrome. |
I loaded the page in Chromium and I got the same message. |
I would appreciate if someone develop a similar wordpress plugin to block IE visitors only. :) |
ArpitNext: Miquel Hudin has a simple piece of Javascript code that you can add to any website to block IE6 visitors. It would be easy to change it to block all IE visitors.
