Comment on Google: Focus on the User

Comments

From the source code: http://www.focusontheuser.org/dontbeevil/script.js

if (/MSIE (\d+\.\d+);/.test(navigator.userAgent)) { alert( "Unfortunately, this tool does not currently work in Internet Explorer. " + "Please try another browser such as Firefox, Chrome, or Safari."); return; }

That's not very nice. Surely this can be made to work for at least IE9 :)

I browsed the source briefly, and while they could get this to work on IE9, there is so much css/dom manipulation (which even ie9 is not great at) that it might slow down the browser enough to be seen as annoying.
