Sure you can.
Depends on your target audience. IE has vanishing small market share amongst several groups such as tech savy, non-MS developers, Apple fanboys, etc.
Also, if those capabilities lead to features that vastly surpass your competition it'll be easier to own majority of non-IE customers than it would be going after all customers with generic features.
You don't need every person with a web connection as a customer, you just need enough to be profitable/successful.
- eli 17y agoBut if you cater to poor corporate suckers like me, IE still has vast majority of traffic. It's hard to justify spending any time on features they won't see. In some industries, IE6 is still the plurality.
- MartinCron 17y agoWhat industry would that be, time travel? :) Here in the present, IE6 is around 2-3% of visitors.
- eli 17y agoMy data shows that IE6 is about 20% of the traffic in the healthcare, biotech, and telecom industries (among others). On the bright side, government & gov't contractors are only 10% IE6.
- notauser 17y agoThe UK defense industry is still standardized on IE6.
- dandelany 17y agoAs scary as this may be: The financial services industry. I work on a large retail trading site - many of our customers and a majority of our clients still visit our site in IE6. They have no choice, and some of them do not even realize they have no choice.
