IE 6 rightfully deserved this. However, the modern policy of supporting only the latest browsers can also be too extreme.
Web browsers have gotten to be MUCH more resource intensive than the IE6 days. Try loading any "modern" site on a "modern" browser on a netbook. (Or any computer with an Atom processor).
While its "compatibility" has waned, I really appreciate Opera 12 for its performance on humble machines. No modern browser seems to match its resource usage.

(Or any computer with an Atom processor). They didn't, the current web browsers are faster than ever. The problem is that websites are getting heavier and heavier.
- stestagg 7y agoUnfortunately 'resource intensive' != 'slower'. There are many tricks played by modern browsers to speed up page speeds. Many of them increase resource usage in the process.
