Explorer Destroyer

Whenever a nasty IE bug comes out I always fantasize about putting that up on my blog. The problem with acting on that desire is that it is probably unlawful here in Australia and in many other jurisdictions. Plus you are potentially harming someone. So I don’t do it.

Over the years I have gotten very annoyed when sites block browsers other than IE running on Windows. It has made me want to block IE back. When I saw Explorer Destroyer I thought “why not?” So if you are reading this you are not using IE.

I tested the page using IE 5.2 for Mac. It works. And it does not harm.
