To be honest, ditching IE support is hardly "cutting edge".
- TAForObvReasons 8y agoYMMV but http://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/desktop/worldwide http://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/desktop/world... points to IE at 5.74%, FF at 9.5%, Chrome at 70.88% in January 2019. Of course, you should look at your own user logs to determine usage statistics, but many government sites still recommend using IE.
- shados 8y agoAlso internationally, some countries have disproportionate IE usage and dropping it basically drops that market. In some market segments, IE users also spend more $$$ per user because of corporate customers. It can be really expensive to give up. If your market is young affluent westerners with MacBook pros it might be easier
- crooked-v 8y agoMaybe in another five years my company can dump IE, but for now we still have about 1% of paying users chugging along on IE 11, and getting them to update soon is a long stretch given that most of this industry still runs on fax machines.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoGreat, when this tool hits the mainstream in five years it'll be right on time. ;-)
- zdragnar 8y agoDepends on your audience. If you are B2B, dropping IE means dropping a financially significant chunk of the market. Heck, we were still getting traffic from people using IE9 in the last year, though it was small enough we were able to convince the whole team that it was time to drop support for everything below IE11. Sorry, poor IE9 user :(
