But but but.

It works for the 'standard' browsers, i.e. Netscape and IE. For a web
designer to attempt to explicitly support anything else (i.e. by
taking the time to test it) is difficult if not impossible to justify
to whoever's paying the bills. Plus, complaining that site foo crashes
a beta browser is bad karma in general. It's a browser fault. That's
why it's beta. Nothing on a web site should /ever/ be able to make a
browser crash.

Criticism where it's due, you know?
