IE6 – When will it’s reign of terror end?
Casually browsing the web, I ran across this article written by Fred Wu for his blog Beyond Coding.
With Google and Google owned Youtube both dropping support for IE6 or earlier, I figure it was about time developers advertised the fact that IE6 is an out-dated browser and clients shouldn’t expect these browsers to be catered for.
Fred Wu states:
I will *try* to make my sites and apps compatible with IE6, but only if the consequences (i.e. increased development time and code complexity) are negligible.
This is a good way to look at the situation, and I’ve been doing the same for the past 12 months or so. However at this point I’m quite happy to not support IE6 at all. But instead, if the client requires this feature it will be estimated and invoiced as additional development work.
