Fornærm en webmaster

Jeg tilhører fortsatt en av de som ikke liker å se notiser som denne, selv om denne altså var marginalt morsommere enn gjennomsnittet. Så jeg sender gjerne en mail, og vil i den anledningen få lov til å blåse liv i min egen private “Fornærm en webmaster“-kampanje, så jeg sendte likegodt dette til webmaster hos Q-Tec:

Whenever I try to visit your page, I receive the “Your browser is a bit out of the ordinary.” message, because, indeed, my browser IS a bit out of the ordinary, it is one of the finest pieces of software available, Opera, available at http://www.opera.com/

While it may be a bit out of the ordinary in the sense that it greatly enhances security, browsing speed, mental and physical health, there still were over 10 million Opera installations as of May 15, 2002. Just check http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2002/05/20020515_2.html

Besides, with a background in developing web applications, I find messages like these more than a bit silly, because users that use odd browsers are usually already aware that their browser is odd, and that some pages may not work properly.

Still, the majority of web sites with silly notices like this work just fine in most browsers, yours included, so could you please remove notices like this for the future?

Just to give you an idea of why browser-sniffing is such a bad idea - I was considering your products until I was met by this notice. Now I’m not.

Så, til de som fortsatt har tid og ork, hva med å sende noe lignende når dere møter slikt?
