Rails is going to make this much worse for you. All new apps include naive agent sniffing and block anything “old” https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/50505

  def blocked?
    user_agent_version_reported? && unsupported_browser?
  end

This is horrifying. What happened to simply displaying a "Your browser is outdated, consider upgrading" banner on the website?

The irony being you can get around the block by pretending to be a bot.

idk, even that seems too much to me, but maybe I'm just being too senstive.

but like, why is it a website's job to tell me what browser version to use? unless my outdated browser is lacking legitmate functionality which is required by your website, just serve the page and be done with it.

Back when the sun was setting on IE6, sites deployed banners that basically meant "We don't test on this, there's a good chance it's broken, but we don't know the specifics because we don't test with it"

Wow. And this is now happening right as I've blacklisted google-chrome due to manifest v3 removal :facepalm:
