Why I Am No Longer Supporting IE6 (ryanfarley.com)

published 1 year, 5 months ago, submitted by StanJacksonStanJackson(395) 1 year, 5 months ago

In the recent relaunch of this site, I created a new custom skin for Subtext. Since this is just a personal site, I threw things together fairly quickly, testing along the way with Firefox3 and IE7. Once I was getting closer to complete, I took a look at my new site in all the usual browsers, including IE6. Ugh, it looked terrible. I gave it some thought and made some decisions about supporting IE6. I'm not going to support it. Not on this site and not on others that I have a say in. I'm not talking about leaving my site unusable for IE6 users - they just won't get as good of an experience. I'm not alone with this decision. Read on to see why I am no longer supporting IE6.

The PNG frustration in IE6 is reason enough.
Note, I use IE primarily, always have, hopefully always will, but no more IE6 pretty please. ;-)

Its all about being the first, to dare insulting your visitors. I like it.
