That tends to be a slippery slope.  Once you start making small modifications
here and there for individual web sites, it may start affecting other sites
adversely that want to support the browser properly.

Also, changing the web site to support a browser properly is a lot easier (only
has to be changed in one or a few places) than changing the browser code itself
(which must be distributed to thousands, if not millions, of users).

Having said that, it's good that you spotted this difference in behavior!  I
don't think I would have spotted it, especially if I hadn't used anything other
than Safari to browse the web.
