Google "Phasing Out IE6 Support"

[NickFitz]

Is it Chrome that has that fancy javascript engine so javascript is pre-compiled instead of continuously being interpreted, resulting in much faster processing, or did I just dream that?

Yup - V8

d00hg, shut up and get a life.

HTH

That's me told then. Haven't heard that since "Get a life. Get a haircut" at primary school.

You're the one wanted to pick a fight after I pointed out you had posted sweeping generalisations without citation. Calling me stupid for not knowing "it's obvious" didn't quite leave me reeling from a fact barrage. Maybe it works face-to-face when you can intimidate the fool who doubts your mighty knowledge, but here on the web you might have to provide some actual facts.

Maybe leave it to NickFitz in future, he seems able to bitch intelligently. I don't always agree with him but I respect his arguments. Nobody care's about your personal browser choice any more than they do your favourite colour.

Have a nice day.

I get to pondering, what will replace the internet, and when will support finally be dropped?

Governments will start censoring it more and more (as Australia has started) and using it for identifying "undesirables" (like people who say they feel like blowing up an airport on Twitter), until the average person stops using it for writing on, and just uses it for reading news or looking at porn. Then the only people putting up content will be the advertisers, then it will die.

It will remain as a husk; a medium for transporting emails between corporates.

Google are succeeding...

Previous clientco co said that they still needed IE6 for SAP (no, it didn't make sense to me either.. ). But on the plus side they released FireFox for internet use.

So we didn't care in the end..

Current client uses IE6 and nothing else. They have no plans to upgrade. Google can go hang.

Yeah my earlier comment was in the misunderstanding that MS were also phasing out support (turns out I didn't read the bit about it being in 2014!), not just Google.

What do Google currently do to specifically support IE6 anyway? Maybe in their apps and whatnot, but surely their search results aren't going to be affected, they're only basic text anyway so should work in IE6 regardless.

I suggest that you re-read your post.

It was yourself that was insulting in an uncalled for personal and cowardly attack.

Name calling from the safety of anonymity is both cowardly and pathetic.

I have little respect or time for your kind of courage. You appear to be the cowardly "Armchair Hero" type of wimp who is better ignored, which is why I edited/removed my invitation to meet up in person, as I didn't wish to be responsible for generating a nervous breakdown in someone of an obviously delicate nature.

I would suggest that we leave it there. I will waste no more time on you.
