A website should aim to support every browser in existence.
Telling a visitor that their browser or configuration is not good enough, when it was obviously good enough to view the page with that message, is ablist, anti-accessibility, lazy, incompetent, and just plain rude.
In many cases, HTTPS is overrated and creates more problems than it solves.
- jklein11 6y agoWhat are the problems you have faced due to HTTPS?
- zzo38computer 6y agoI think that HTTPS is not itself the problem, but rather the problem is that they are trying to force everyone to use HTTPS. A website probably cannot aim to support every browser in existence, although supporting Lynx is a good start. You can also use plain text formats and other protocols (e.g. NNTP, Telnet/SSH, Gopher, etc) too. The websites that don't support so many browsers, often have other problems too such as being slow and wasting memory, etc.
