I think expanding rants is good, because it helps us find overlaps across them. Web by nature is agnostic of platform and tools. So any such affiliation goes against the nature. In fact, I think that a web site that puts these restrictions are closer to the desktop applications than the Web. Thanks Jonthan, Lorelle.

It really sucks. I face this crap all the time and I just wish that they would get their acts together. What I also hate are all the "Best Viewed by Internet Explorer..." on websites or other such clutter or guidelines. Design a web page so it can be viewed all all, without special software or limitations. Let's expand your rant as far as possible. :D I’m so with you on this, my friend. It really sucks.

I think overall it would be better if websites could stop using these silly browser compatibility checks and just write proper code. What's even more annoying is when I'm actually using Firefox, but the website only supports it on Windows and Mac but not Linux. That's a bunch of crap.
