Google's homepage is probably the most extreme example ever made for browser compatibility.

  Only if compatibility means "at least some functionality". Anything but latest Chrome, Safari or desktop Firefox gets a super basic version even though there appears to be no technical rationale. Just "it is too hard to test this on all of those browsers". Just faking the QA string gets you a working "chrome" experience.

    What functionality is missing? Is it anything that people actually care about? I did a search from Internet Explorer in Mac OS 9 a couple of years ago. I put in a term and a list of results came up. That's really all I could ask for.

      If I look up lyrics to a song that's in a different language it will display the lyrics, but only chrome will offer the ability to click a button and translate.

  Every time I visit Google with another browser I see a big pop-up which asks me to switch to Chrome.

    That's marketing, not browser compatibility :)
