This.
Most users do not think that their favorite website is broken; the believe the browser is at fault. Therefore, they find a browser that renders said website correctly and stick with it. The problems are manifold, and it's the browser that supports both the standard and many non-standard ways of describing content that wins out: Chrome today; IE before the "second coming of web browsers".

- drdaeman 10y agoIs this also backed by research? Because I sort of doubt this. An old browsers become a nuisance quite fast, with "sorry, you need a browser that supports $feature and yours doesn't". Well, I mean, I had to stick with 2 years old browser for some time and this certainly wasn't a good UX.
