I reported last year that YouTube was ending support for Internet Explorer 6. Google, who owns YouTube, has now announced that it is ending support for IE6 on two applications that are part of Google Docs. It is starting with 'Docs' and 'Sites' and the rest are to follow later (such as Calendar and Gmail).
There are many flaws in Internet Explorer 6, some of which led to the attacks on Google's search engine in China. They are recommending users to use...
- Internet Explorer 7 +
- Mozilla FireFox 3.0 +
- Google Chrome 3.0 +
- Safari 3.0 +
Now that Google has decided to stop supporting IE 6, I am sure many more websites will do the same. Even Governments has announced warnings about it.
