Is Internet Explorer still that popular to require extra support?

• mod 5y ago
  3.37% (3rd most popular) https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

    I see Edge at 3.37% and IE at 0.62% in that chart.

    Some industries (government, hospitality, health care, some travel) have proportionally more IE users unfortunately than the general population

  Depending on your market, it's not about the raw popularity. If you are selling to business, many of them are running ERP systems that depend on IE11 and will never be updated. However the knowledge that IE sucks is well established outside of developers at this point. We sell into business and only officially support Chrome and Safari. When people run into common issues we tell them to switch from IE to Chrome, and 90% of the time they respond as if they screwed up not us, and that they should have thought to try in the non-sucky browser.
