It may be harsh, but if you use such a bogus ad filled browser then oh well - might be ugly for you. If you did make your site look OK in IE 6 and Firefox 1-1.5 you did your job - hacks and extra rules for crappy browsers doesn't buy anybody anything. The consumer/user need to upgrade - should'nt be an issue will all the "upgrading" Apple and MS require these days.
