Recently I wrote about a company who designed their website solely for users of Internet Explorer. Most research shows that on a typical day 20% to 25% of all web visits occur with another browser (Firefox, Chrome, or Safari for example). And not allowing your site to be viewable in other browsers, is just like it not allowing a customer in your store because of the type of car they drive.

Interesting research is being shown, that more and more users have multiple browsers installed on their computers, to the tune of Firefox is estimated to be on over 50% of all computers. Chrome is gaining popularity as well, and estimated to be on around 10% of all computers.

So make it easy for users to just use the browser they pick, and not have to switch to view your site.
