The Randomness of the Web

Last night I was filling in a financial aid form - my daughter is going to college next year, and it's part of the whole process - mostly because education costs have risen to absurd levels, far outstripping the received value (but that's another rant).

The funny thing is this - I went to the Fafsa site, which integrates applications for aid across whatever schools you are applying to. So far, so good. I use Chrome as my default browser, and I should have realized there might be an issue when I saw the "use IE 6 or better" sign on the page. Sure enough, it barfed on Chrome. The odd part is that it was happy with Safari, and Safari and Chrome use the same underlying engine. Are they specifically saying "No" to Chrome, or is there something else going on? Weird :)
