Default Win 7 or XP?

Some sites don't work well in older browsers. The only current one I

It's not all the fault of your browser. There seems to be an abundance
of poorly written websites lately. But once again, it's the same story.
They put so much bloat and crap on the sites that they cant possibly
work properly anymore. The news media sites are the worst of all.

What ever happened to websites that were simply HTML (text) and some
pictures??? It seems like the content has dimninished in favor of flashy
looks and excessive advertising....

Even on my cellphone, I seem to get sites that are completely blank, and
those are the ones that always take the longest to load. That's most
annoying! (Many of them begin with HTTPS too, (secured). I can
understand security on sites where we enter credit cards and so on, but
why sites like Wikipedia are using all HTTPS now, makes little sense to
me.

HTML5 / CCS3 won't work on early browsers. People use HTML5 and CCS3
on websites to make them work properly on mobile devices like
I-Phones.
