Finally its happening... finally: 'YouTube Will Be Next To Kiss IE6 Support Goodbye



Most corporations that are locked to IE6 will probably block youtube anyway!

Besides, this warning isn’t saying they’re going to switch off access to IE6 users, it’s saying they are phasing out support. It may actually still “work” for months or years to come.


This is a major step in the right direction for Youtube, as well as for the entire internet community. With a website as widespread and well known as Youtube directing IE6 users to modern web browsers, this could be the beginning of IE6’s long-awaited downfall. Other websites are sure to follow suite.

Microsoft’s failure to take action and shift it’s Internet Explorer users to newer versions of the web browser is largely responsible for keeping IE6 afloat. They should have made an attempt a long time ago to keep their users updated to the latest version of the software.

The recent Windows auto updates that helped install Internet Explorer 8 on computers everywhere may have contributed to the cause, but help was far overdue. When IE6 was released in 2001 there were no complaints. But as the internet evolved and more modern web browsers were released in following years, things had to change. Despite the constant uproar from the online community action was not taken against IE6, even as newer versions were released.

I saw a good doc on Yahoo’s strategy on this, which was “current version of supported browsers and one major version back. This isn’t that different from dropping IE 5.5 support when IE 7 shipped. My employer is also considering this, for similar reasons.



YouTube Will Be Next...WTF!! who uses IE6 anymore! c'mon ppl, move on to bigger n better things. CHROME!!!!!!
