Danish TV 2 to cut Internet Explorer 6 support
Sep 29th, 2008 @ 17:36Following in the footsteps of 37 Signals Danish broadcaster TV 2 will cut their support for Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 on the tv2.dk website.
TV 2 developer Martin Gausby has announced this in his Twitter stream:
Today we start to inform the users of Internet Explorer 6, that they should upgrade their browsers to IE7 or get Firefox http://xrl.us/osepc
Users of Internet Explorer 6 will see a gray box on the tv2.dk website telling them that their browser is outdated and will no longer be supported. They are told to upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 or switch to Firefox, the open source alternative.
In my view this is a good move by TV 2. IE6 has long been a thorn in the eye of web developers who need to design especially custom CSS for the browser, since it sometimes has its own way of interpreting the code.
Now it'll be interesting to see whether or not other Danish media websites will do the same.
