They save time and money by not checking browsers such as Google
Chrome and Firefox.  I worked once in a web developing company, and
they told me their contract with the customer is that the website
works with Internet Explorer only.  They told me not to check the
website with Firefox!  They don't care, the customer doesn't pay for
checking with Firefox and they don't check it at all.  Most web
developing companies work like that.  Banks too, they hire web
developers (sometimes outsourcing) and they pay them to make the site
look fine with Internet Explorer.  They don't bother to check with
Google Chrome, Opera, Firefox, although it's only about 10% more of
the developing time.  They save money!
