Stop supporting IE6

25th Aug 2008

Is it perhaps time to ditch IE6 support and start forcing people to upgrade? asks Josh Catone at Sitepoint.

the reason people still use IE6 is that developers go out of their way to make web sites work in it. So most people don't realize that IE6 isn't a good browser.

My thoughts? I say, if you are a front-end developer, stop supporting IE6 if you can. I'd love to forget about IE6. The times I've pulled my hair out, screamed at the top of my head and cried over how that browser renders web pages, it's painful just thinking about it.
