BUZZZZZ! Wrong answer!
The correct answer is to use server software that does not intentionally
break others' browsers. The iWindsurf pages load and display an ad,
load the content and then take 30 seconds of 100% CPU time to display
the content! This is very broken.
Most websites use the Apache http server. This is known to work (and is
free).
You won't win over any customers by trying to force them to follow your
choice of browser.
