If we stopped supporting outdated, bug-ridden, insecure and incomplete
browsers, we'd lose the vast number of users who browse Wikipedia,
voluntarily and involuntarily, via Internet Explorer.
Ba-dum ching!
Seriously though, given the choice between a mild aesthetic change for
saving web pages to disk in some browsers (who actually does this
