Google announces it won't be supporting IE6 by the end of 2010
Google has announced that it will not be supporting IE6 in its Google Apps feature from the end 2010.
What does this mean for Denobi customers?
- If you haven't done so already you should upgrade to a newer version of Internet Explorer or start using another browser for viewing the internet.
Why should you? I'll let Google explain below is the text of the email sent to us by Google this morning.
"In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology. This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers.
We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor on March 1, 2010. After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers. Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar.
Google Apps will continue to support Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above."
Denobi will continue to develop XHTML code that supports IE6 in the medium term but we will review the situation in the second half of 2010. As the number of visitors to websites using IE6 on our client websites gets smaller we will make a decision for our customers when the impact of moving away from IE6 will have a minimal impact.
