We no longer support Internet Explorer 6

Here at Evolved Websites we are dropping support for Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) on all new websites as of this week. We will keep our keep our clients well informed on the reasons for this, the most polite being ‘IE6 is an old browser’.

Obi from ByronHost sent this great little bit of Javascript which detects IE6 and shows a bunch of links to other browsers: http://code.google.com/p/ie6-upgrade-warning/

Here it is hard at work on our website:

Very cool, we will be using this on most of our newer websites as they launch.

Browsers we do support

Windows

  • Internet Explorer 7
  • Internet Explorer 8
  • Firefox 3
  • Safari 4
  • Chrome 4

Mac

  • Firefox 3
  • Safari 4
  • Chrome 4

We are also considering Chrome 5 and Internet Explorer 9 in the near future.

Deciding which browsers to support is not an exact science, the best stats on browser usage are compiled by Wikipedia from a range of sources, see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#Summary_table
