IE8 should work but since I don't have Windows I haven't been able to
do extensive testing.  Most of my testing is done on the following
browsers in order of frequency:

Chrome
Firefox
Epiphany

In general Chrome and Firefox have far better development tools
associated than other browsers and so this is why this is the case.

The past IE problems were pretty-IE specific (the big one was handling
of button elements) but because IE refused to support standards in
some areas, a few lesser known browsers became unsupportable as well,
mostly lesser known text-based browsers.
