Alberto Mendoza I see the point form the Tech perspective, however, it would be great to have a business perspective. Lubos Kmetko alberto that's certainly a valid point, but one business perspective could be that of social responsibility. Spencer That's fine advice, except for an e-commerce site that cannot afford to refuse service to a significant portion of the population who knows nothing about how to find and install a new browser, and in some cases, don't know what a browser is!
Matthias We shouldn't make the decision for the users as to what browser they should use. Jack Matthias, it's not about making a decision for them it's just not wasting time and resources supporting people using 15 year old tech, it halts progress and causes developers to have to hold back on new features. Manav Misra Whole-heartedly agree! James That's fine advice, except for an e-commerce site that cannot afford to refuse service to a significant portion of the population who knows nothing about how to find and install a new browser, and in some cases, don't know what a browser is!
CStew James, while I understand your position, you're only thinking about the now, not the future. It's like we're stuck in gridlock. Brian James You definitely bring up a valid business case for supporting older browsers. Lubos Kmetko john thanks for the comment. Lubos Kmetko Thanks tech4him, updated. Dan The idea that users even care what tech people have to go through is a pipe-dream, especially given our salaries.
Dan Also, I want to back up my previous post with data, according to netmarketshare. Lubos Kmetko dan thanks for the comment. Luke In an ideal world I would only ever support Google Chrome but that ain't gonna happen. WA IE8, believe it or not is still in usage and espacially depending on which audience your site targets for example a medical company you will most certanly see that IE8 is used alot more than most think.
Wojtek A quick solution would be to charge additionally for everything that goes beyond modern browsers. David Dylan Supporting IE8 and up is an accessibility requirement here, and with good reason; users with assistive technology may not be able to upgrade. Kyle David Your lawsuit argument would also work for the security requirement.
Microsoft confirmed it would kill off both Internet Explorer and Edge Legacy earlier this summer as plans for a phased termination were brought to a close.
As of November 13, users will no longer be able to log into their Microsoft accounts via Internet Explorer, Microsoft Teams will drop support at the end of the same month and, by August 17 , no Microsoft app will be compatible with the browser.
However Microsoft may still have some room to improve, as elsewhere, the continued Windows 10 push to get users to move over onto Microsoft Edge instead of Google Chrome may finally be paying off.
