Google Phases Out Support for IE6
Google has started to phase out any support for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6. The browser has recently been identified as a weak link and part of the Chinese attack on Google through Google Mail. Earlier this year Google had threatened to leave the Chinese market following the attacks it received from hackers where they accessed email accounts of Chinese rights activists.
This comes as great news to web developers who have long suffered with CSS bugs whilst trying to maintain browser compatibilities across the board. Around 20% of web users still use the nine-year old browser, including many UK government departments.
The browser doesn’t support modern web standards and restricts what web developers can do. Unfortunately though, Microsoft has said that it will continue supporting the browser until 2014!
