I hate it when sites aren’t designed to work with all browsers. How hard can it be to use open standards and make compatible sites? A couple of weeks ago my sister got a Macbook and she had been using Safari (I saw no need to confuse her with extra browsers- it would have made my life a lot worse), but when she went to log into her account on the university website she couldn’t log in. It said they didn’t support Safari. So I had to get her Firefox so she could access her account. And for some odd reason she likes to use the smileys and colour backgrounds in hotmail. Of course, those don’t work in Safari, or even Firefox. It looks like Microsoft limited those to IE.  It isn’t difficult to make sites that work with all browsers. There should be some sort of standard or compatibility requirement for sites. Sites should work in all browsers. In would just make life so much easier (especially for us Mac users).
