Well, it looks like it’s time to say goodbye to an old friend, or rather an odd kid standing in the corner who always wanted to be liked.
It has been over ten years since the inception of Internet Explorer 6. It spawned lawsuits, security leaks and was downright difficult to use, yet it stuck around and some became very attached.
Finally, the day has come to wipe it off the face of the planet. 12% of the world’s internet population are still using this archaic software, but the majority say it’s time to stop designing backwards for a browser that limits what the web can do. Have a look at the IE6 usage around the world and see for yourself.
If not for your own sanity, help the rest of us out and transition to a browser that cares about your online experience and makes it the best it can be!
