On the one hand, it’s a sign of technical prowess to be able to accommodate browsers going that far back.

On the other, it’s kind of embarrassing not to have a barebones version of your website load in case an old browser is detected. IE5 had Ajax after all, what more does a search box really need? The answer? Endless tracking and cookies and phoning home. God forbid someone uses a browser we can’t use to collect infinite metrics.

Makes me wonder, does bing work with lynx?
