Because we automatically put all bugs into radar.

It worked in old versions of safari because old versions of safari did not support the strict mode feature.  Neither did firefox, chrome, or opera.

All of these browsers have now either implemented support for strict mode, or are in the process of doing so.  This site will not work in _any_ browser that supports strict mode, as the code in the site is wrong.

There is script in the site that starts with "use strict", this was clearly not actually tested as no browser supported any part of strict mode until about maybe 6 months ago.  Now that browsers support it, they're exposing the fact that the code is not in fact correct.

Even amazon.com has had to fix a few of their pages where they had incorrectly pasted "use strict" at the beginning of scripts, and this site is no different.  The code is wrong and needs to be fixed on the site, not in the browser.
