Despite the fact that Internet Explorer 6 is 8 (eight) years old it is still used by about 14.5% of all internet users (source: http://bit.ly/2WdDGO). How come?
Common opinion is that the IE6 population is largely composed of companies who still haven’t upgraded their staff’s computers to a recent/decent browser for whatever reason.
The internet community has had it! Join the fight against IE6. Visit http://hey-it.com for a selection of posters you can print and hang up in your office where appropriate to motivate your IT folks.
Join the revolution and just this once feel good about being a snitch! Visit http://ie6offenders.com and report a company for still using this ancient browser.
If you are blogging or have any other web-sites you can help the cause yourself. For example, I installed a Wordpress Plugin that shows a warning when an IE6 user visits the site.
Old browsers, built for static html pages, are not fit for duty anymore and hold back the natural evolution of the web. Whatever reason behind the lack of company upgrades from IE6 may be, and however valid it may be, after 8 years isn’t it time to go with, well, time?
Together we can kill IE6. /nods
