Ahh yes, the era when far too many web developers gleefully gave the finger to anyone not running Windows. I'm so glad those days are over.
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoIE was available for Mac OS and desktop Linux wasn't really a "thing" in those days so I'm not sure who they were giving the finger to. BeOS users?
- tracker1 7y agoBy the time Firefox came out, it lined up with IE6 well enough to use the same code (W3C DOM) methods mostly. IE4.x and NN4.x support was horrific, and worse than IE6 when Google did what TFA mentioned. Dropping support for IE4/NN4 didn't mean not supporting other current browsers. When it was in the >90% market share, a lot of people did that though.
