I’ve pretty much made my website design compatible across the board, except with IE6 and below. Now I’m sure some would agree that IE 6 has been a problem for a while.
My question is this. It’s almost 2012, should I even attempt to satisfy the limitations of IE6?
If my project was in any other genre than what it is, I wouldn’t think twice about worrying about it. I noticed other programmers and designers just ignoring it completely when constructing their websites. The thing is, my project is a social networking site, similar to Facebook/Youtube/Twitter.
I’d like to know an estimated number of how many people still use that terrible browser if anyone has a source, and do you think that market would even be interested in social networking?
If you look at the browser stats you can see that ie6 is a very small percentage of browsers. link
I’d personally not support it and redirect or show a splash screen informing the user that their browser is not supported.
