Nice. But there will always be that client browsing on a corporate install of Internet Explorer that will complain about an obscure bug. In that case, avoid any bickering and counterstrike surgically with a well written and sourced explanation on why their browser is a safety risk for the entire company and that the problem should be escalated quickly to IT because that’s much more worrying than a simple website bug most people’s browsers won’t display. Attach a couple of links to layman-friendly articles about Explorer not being considered a browser anymore even by Microsoft (it’s officially a “legacy solution”) and send.

I did it a few times and each and every time I had follow ups thanking me, telling me how much they hated Explorer but they were forced to use it, and that they didn’t know about the risks of using it.

If the bug they suffer is bad enough I just make a page describing the issue and redirect all user agents of the type.

I like the passive-aggressive flair of this one.
