Please inform the sites they are hindering free browser choice of visitors by doing this and they should stop their unscrupulous blocking/nagging of website visitors based on what those visitors choose to use.

Thanks, we'll see. Here's what I just sent to Amazon, will be interesting to see if I get a response at all.
When I attempt to connect to my Amazon Prime Music Library using my default browser, I receive the message:
Your browser is not supported
For the best experience accessing Amazon Music Library we recommend using the latest version of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, or Safari from your computer. See help for more details.
I use a modern and current browser called "Pale Moon", with the following User Agent:
Your user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20140903 PaleMoon/25.0.0b2
I don't see the need for Amazon to sniff User Agents, then block access to certain pages based on the results. I understand that you cannot support very old browsers, but blocking browsers simply because you are not familiar with them is not a tangible solution. Why not simply provide an informational message and provide a "I understand, Continue" button for those of us that use browsers that you are not familiar with?
Thanks for your consideration of this issue.
