Glad to hear the news! IE6 is a heap of junk – and clients don’t realise how much their sites’ are being compromised by being IE6 compatible. And then there’s the extra cost of coding and testing specifically for this fatally flawed browser. I really do hate IE6, and Microsoft continuing to support it – it is holding back web development. It’s a case of loads of sites being broken on IE6 that will force these people to upgrade (I would love to know who is using it, and what their demographic profile is. I suspect they are not commercially viable target markets). It’s not an easy sell to give a client when a friend of a friend using IE6 says their site’s broken, but maybe a responsibility for web designers to ditch it.

Internet Explorer 8 have been my most used browser this year, it is definitely stable and fast loading too. -

Internet Explorer 8 is very good because it is as stable as Opera. I hate the previous versions of IE like IE6 because it hangs frequently. “

Great article. Although microsoft have extended their own support for the dreadful IE6, I have to agree, we cannot be expected to have to deal with 3 versions of Internet Explorer, especially the archaic IE6.

Unfortunately some larger businesses seem to have software that rely on IE6 to work efficiently (NHS and some mortgage advisors I know)and as such we cannot drop suport for this ancient monster of a web browser. We can however charge heavily for the work we do to support IE6 so just make sure that your turnover warrants the end of IE6 support.

make money of you can people.

I still support it, but not for free. IE6 support is now part of my quotes “extras”.
Very nice website and copywriting btw, congrats.

I wish I could follow suit. I have one client right now that is holding me back from abandoning all support for IE6. As soon as they upgrade, I will celebrate and burn an IE6 effigy.

Here’s one more person “inspired by your actions”! I’m a web designer down in Santiago, Chile, and will not support IE6 any longer (although good design ethics lead me to still let sites degrade gracefully).

You convinced me…no hack for IE6. If my clients have IE6, then they should pay for my workshop called Firefox is our Friend
