- yakshaving_jgt 7y agoIn some industries it's much more than 7%. Luckily once IE11 is EOL (which IIRC is in January) I'll be able to block requests from that browser, but only because I can use the argument "this browser is EOL and using it is a security risk." Not every business has that luxury.
- mythrwy 7y agohttps://gabriellaroche.dev/ie11-death-countdown/ https://gabriellaroche.dev/ie11-death-countdown/ I really hope you are right about January and this counter is wrong. In the meantime I'm not worrying about IE anymore (have luxury of not working at bigco and can say, "sorry, we don't support that").
- yakshaving_jgt 7y agoAh, crap. It’s IE10 I was thinking of, so it’s still IE11 I’ll be suffering with for some years.
- JMTQp8lwXL 7y agoI very well might be in a management role before I have to stop worrying about IE 11 directly. This countdown couldn't come sooner.
- yyyk 7y agoIE10 will be EOL in January. IE11 will only be EOL in 2025...
- aflag 7y agoIt's all just a matter of cost x profit. If supporting those 7% doesn't make up for the the cost of supporting them, then it doesn't make sense to support them. However, if supporting them is worth more than the cost to do so, then it'd be silly not to.
