Google does its part to wean people off Internet Explorer 6

IE 6 is dangerous. You know it. I’ve been warning you about it since November 2006. Even Microsoft admits it. Now Google’s doing something about it.

In the wake of the Chinese attack on Google, the Googlies are starting to pull back support for Internet Explorer 6, beginning on March 1.

Quoth the Beeb:

Google has now said it is going to phase out support for the browser “starting with Google Docs and Google Sites”.

Rajen Sheth, Google Senior Product Manager puts it this way:

Many other companies have already stopped supporting older browsers like Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers. We’re also going to begin phasing out our support, starting with Google Docs and Google Sites on March 1st. So while you’ll still be able to access these Google applications, newer features may not be available and some features may even stop working.

Thanks to HFP for the heads-up!
