don't try to fix the browser, you can't
it leads to a chaos where each website has different versions for each
browser, display media, resolution,..
there is no way to do "nice in all browsers" page (or pixel correct
presentation)
(flash is obviously not an option since it's not (and cannot be)
supported by most browsers)
interactivity has the same issues (no way to do it properly)

imho this is the most sane approach currently (although limited in many ways)

the user is responsible for changing the default style (or using a sane browser)
