In many cases the site actually does work properly with minority browsers, but the site developers want to save resources by not even doing the testing to verify that it does work properly. And since they're not doing that testing, they don't know if the site works or not, so they warn users away from those browsers.

Then regulations should say that *blocking* minority browsers is called "discrimination", preferably under one of the disability acts (if I need a word-based browser to read to me, I should be able to use the browser that suits me, not them!).

Some form of pop-up (along the lines of that cookie thing) that says "you are using an unsupported browser" is fine, if objectionable.

Cheers,
Wol
