The real problem is shown in the screenshot below, which shows Budeweiser's entry page with no way to enter for Mac users surfing with Safari, the standard browser on the Mac platform. Not just nowhere to enter or choose a birthdate, but absolutely not one clickable thing on the entire page.

I see this all the time with sites that aren't careful about making sure their Javascript works in all browsers on all platforms, and that don't 'sniff' for browsers they don't support so they can supply an alternate way to enter.

If it's important, I may keep switching browsers until I find one I can use to enter (like Firefox in this case). But sometime it's just "off to the next site" rather that trying to use a site that many have more problems for me just waiting inside.

Mac users are a small segment of total Internet users, that's true. But it's just sloppy coding to completely lock your front door so someone can't get in at all.

P.S. Yeah, I'm letting them know.

Who cares about you insignificant Apple surfers anyway?
