Interesting site, but I disagree on the advocacy of crashing IE6. Yeah, it sucks, but a surprising amount of people (some sites quote 30%+, others nearer 10% – either way that’s potentially a lot of people!)

A surprising amount of people still use IE6, and I’m not sure it’s good for that site to advocate crashing the browser.
