Dear devs,

It's NEVER ok to lock people out of a webapp because their User-Agent doesn't match your predefined list. 😡

Especially webapps they need to manage their healthcare.

(I am in fact using one of the browsers on this list, your code just isn't able to tell.)

 Please boost for basic education.

@downey "our website strickly follows well established webstandards, therefore we support any browser you like" should indeed be the proper atitude to webdevelopment.

@AstaMcCarthy @downey "Our website strictly follows well established web standards, therefore we support any browser that also strictly follows well established web standards." might be a tad more realistically achievable.
