Yeah I don't support gating entire sites behind checks like this outside of some situations (like it's a tech demo using a new browser API, or a public beta where they want to limit it to a few browsers until it's stable enough to open up to the world). But I also absolutely get the allure of whitelisting "known good browsers". I've literally never seen a user hit a bug, and then blame their browser. Hell, I've personally hit bugs and blamed the website only to find out later that it was a browser bug. It's a shitty situation all around, and I don't have a good universal answer. I try to avoid doing that at all costs, but I also have to admit that a piece of software I currently work on is gated to only Chrome and Safari due to the extreme number of bugs that were coming from alternate browsers and the fact that we simply don't have the time to chase them down right now. It sucks, I feel bad about doing it, and I don't want anyone else to do it for many reasons (including the health of the web in general), but until I personally can find a good way out, I also can't in good conscience be mad at others for doing the same thing.
