What I am totally flabbergasted by is the fact that Google is redirecting to Google.com without even a simple message saying that your browser is not supported.

What I am totally flabbergasted by is the fact that Google is redirecting to Google.com without even a simple message saying that your browser is not supported. That makes no sense whatsoever to me. Can anyone explain the reason that Google can possibly have for this? Edit: >For the record, here is Google’s formal statement on the issue: >The mobile web version of Google Maps is optimized for WebKit browsers such as Chrome and Safari. However, since Internet Explorer is not a WebKit browser, Windows Phone devices are not able to access Google Maps for the mobile web Wonder what this means for Firefox OS then.

Probably for the same reason iOS app crashes are just an exit to the home screen (compared to Android's visible "force close" message).

  Except this isn't a crash, it's something that Google is explicitly doing on their end from the reports. I too can't help but feel like I'm missing some context, seems like Google would at least warn the user.
