I was recently working on a project that needed some IE6 cross browser compatibility work when I once again was reminded of the horrors of designing for this horribly archaic browser. Before I get started with why Internet Explorer 6 should be wiped from the face of this earth let me first make a plea to all internet users.
PLEASE… I BEG YOU UNINSTALL IE6 OR AT THE VERY LEAST UPGRADE TO IE8! Why not switch to a new browser? I prefer Firefox, but there are a lot of other options that are as always free. Give these browsers a shot. Opera, Safari or Google Chrome.
If you’re using IE6 to browse the internet you’re missing out on a lot of perks that the web has to offer. You’re not seeing the web as it was intended to be seen. Many design standards are not supported by IE6 and in turn you’re missing out on a lot of content. Some fixes for IE6 are to simply omit offending content. This can easily be avoided by updating your browser to the most current version. Not that I support IE as I think that’s a lousy browser as well, but at least the newest version of IE is much more compatible with modern coding standards.
