Universal message for outdated browsers. Draft
Recently there was a need to show something to users, provided that their browser is not supported by the site (portal). Not only because a valid layout requires additional resources, but also because the implementation of some solutions is impossible, well because ... it is simply impossible due to the lack of full support even for CSS2. And let instead of "porridge" of letters and pictures, they will see useful advice on updating.
Of course you want the sites we create to be accessible to most users, whether they are on IE6 or on something just as old. But technical progress and other objective factors force us to move forward and sooner or later the moment comes when we need to find the strength to part with this old stuff. About these factors, in fact, post.
The question arises - what are the best words to convince a user to update their browser? How to do it in such a way that it does not give up the hand “I will be updated next time”, but I wanted to do it immediately. How to clearly and concisely give him the most convincing reasons, and what are they?

I would be very grateful for any advice and assistance in the preparation of such a text, a draft of which I offer to your attention:

I'm going to add to the page, just like the automatic detection of the browser type, and issue a link to update in the first place, specifically for it (as it is done here ), but now the question is exactly to the items that would explain why to do it.
I have been searching for articles on the Internet for a long time, or pages that are similar to my task, but perhaps Google ’s most convincing is about the Chrome browser . And everything would be fine, but they write about their browser, but I would like to write something common for everyone.
In general, one of the phenomena of the Internet of tomorrow, I think the introduction of support for such a message at the server level. To keep it in line with the message 404 or 500, I mean its introduction to the standard messages. I would call it “Error 444” because it is not busy now and it’s easier to remember beautiful numbers. But this is for example, whether it is 418 (the next one is not busy in order), the essence of this does not change.
Do you think it is possible? What could be instead? Is there a similar today?
I repeat, I will be glad to think together in this direction.
