what about the minor browsers? (and remember to include all the browsers on phones and mobile devices)

iOS4 and Android also support SNI. Even elinks supports it these days.

iOS and Android are both pretty new platforms

They're also widely-used; many features don't work with ancient browsers anyway.

Are you really arguing that supporting a handful of users with ancient browsers is worth sacrificing everyone's privacy?

according to Wikipedia, no IE on WinXP has SNI support. Thats unfortunately a large chunk of the general, internet browsing public.

Well, that could be (another) incentive to move on to something better.

And Linux runs ususally very well on these ancient machines ;)
