Since the vast majority of users are a chromium based browser, doesn't this put the burden on your server pretty much all of the time? why even bother with code to do 2 different things when the other thing is such a niche segment of users?


This kind of thinking is how we ended up with the IE6 disaster.


That's my point of having the logic to do multiple workflows based on browser type.


True; so the server-side rendering is tuned for minimal server load, with the resulting output being heavily degraded. Still good enough for its purpose, and Firefox gets the bonus hi-res thumbnails :-)
