Free The Web home

Internet Explorer 6 is holding back the future.

IE6 is the bane of every web developer's life. Released in 2001, IE6 fails to even properly support the CSS 1.0 standard from 1996.

Supporting IE6 prevents us from using cool new features, standard with up to date browsers. This erodes user-experience for everyone. Additionally, the hacks and workarounds that web designers are forced to use degrades their code, and this limits progress in other areas. Above all it's simply a waste of millions of hours of human potential.

Please help us to free the web from IE6

@mjatharvest Yeah. Who would've thought that with the day IE9 is released, people would still be using IE6. >>

首页是123的人我已经放弃教育了 RT @fyer @wujinhai 上次我好奇的问一个85/86 的：你还在用ie6 啊？他振振有词地回答我说：能看网页就行了，我打开网页都没什么问题啊。我一次还向别人推荐ff/chrome，人家回答：这些浏览器连网银，淘宝都用不了有什么用。 >>
