My personal favourite has always been "Why would you want to do that?"
Sometimes this is a fair question. (But c'mon, if someone buys a computer, then they are to entitled to use it any way they want to.)
Most of the time the person "answering" does not know the answer. So they make a silly comment. It's never polite. They rarely admit they do not have an answer.
The positive aspect of StackOverflow is you always get a reponse. They will almost always respond. The negative aspect is the response is often worthless comments, or claims that the question is not allowed/in the wrong forum/etc.
Remember StackOverlfow are Windows programmers. They are a frustrated bunch. They are tense. They are easily perturbed.
Now, as for this guy's question, what I'd like to know is why he wants a "modern browser"? In other words, specifically what does he need the modern features for? Because there may be workarounds, using simple techniques, for whatever he needs the browser to do.
It's also why so much software in these areas is so terrible or does not exist. No one with the right knoweldge of the task at hand has the slightest clue how to program a computer.
