If you haven’t heard lately, YouTube will be dropping support for Internet Explorer 6. This is great. I’m hoping more top-tier sites follow suit. That is the only thing that is really going to force an upgrade on many users. And more importantly, it might force more lazy IT departments to upgrade their users’ browsers (since many of them are locked out of better browsers).
Don’t get me wrong, Internet Explorer 6 was a great piece of software when it debuted, eight years ago. I’m sure that 2009’s best browsers will be lacking many essential features in 2017’s internet. Wow, 2017, that’s like a million years from now in internet years.
