Google to end support for Internet Explorer version 6 browser
, written by: JimPC World announced today that Google will stop supporting Microsoft's IE6 (Internet Explorer version 6) browser come this March.
A Google representative suggested that customers upgrade to Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla Firefox 3.0, Google Chrome 4.0 or Safari 3.0, or more recent versions of those browsers.
This is very good news folks. We've been trying to get our clients to stop using IE6 for years. The browser has incredible problems -- most notably it normally requires special workaround code to force it to display web pages the same way as its older brothers, IE7 and IE8. If you like using Microsoft products for some reason, then upgrade to IE8. It's a lot better. Forget upgrading to IE7 like the Google rep says. Go straight to IE8. Better yet, try Firefox, Apple's Safari, or Google's new Chrome, although that one might take a little getting used to for some folks.
