"yeah lets just ask our customers to switch browser instead of fixin our website. That will get the job done" I wonder how they came up with this

I build websites, and even when we supported Internet explorer 6, my company wouldn't allow us to display a message like this. Anyone who ever developed a website for IE6 would know that if it were ever appropriate to display such a message, it was for IE6. It was atrocious beyond words. They ignored most of the standards and the browser was also just a security nightmare, yet still just on principle alone the idea was always shot down.

Somewhere there’s a very confused executive wondering why their bounce rate is so high.
