What do people think of this move?

I think it's a really good idea. So many people out there are using old browsers I think this would be a good wake up call to get their systems updated.

I also think it's a good incentive to Apple to update their web browser and bring it up to the same security standards as other browsers.

There's just too much fraud out there on the internet and people need to do their bit to help prevent criminals from getting away with things so easily.

    as long as it only does the really old ones it's okay, the technical issue is with people who use heavily customised browsers, like with linux etc

    love it when i visit a site that says i have a really old browser when in fact i just use firefox, which combined with noscript addon is super secure
