I hereby officially proclaim Internet Explorer 6 to be a dead browser walking. Even though IE 6 still somehow manages to keep 19.8% of the Web browser market, IE 6 is a late Web browser! It’s a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If Microsoft hadn’t nailed it to the operating system, it would be pushing up the daisies! Its metabolic processes are of interest only to historians! It’s shuffled off this mortal coil! It’s run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This…. is an EX-Web browser!
Excuse me for the Monty Python moment there, but I was so pleased to learn that Amazon would no longer be supporting IE 6 for its seller accounts at the end of March that I couldn’t help myself. I’m sure that this is only Amazon’s first move in dropping support for this hopelessly obsolete Web browser.
With this move, Amazon joins Google in stopping support for IE 6. Don’t think, however, that this is just a move by other companies. Microsoft itself wants you to stop using IE 6. Heck, Microsoft even sent flowers to a recent mock IE 6 funeral.
