Other ways to move the web forward: stop supporting Internet Explorer altogether. Agreed, thank you! I'm pretty close to launching a web app I've been developing over the past 6 months or so; I've decided not to support any version of IE. I made that decision in part b/c of the feature set it needs to support, but also due to principle - I don't believe Microsoft has ever been as passionate about the web as it's competitors. The browser apathy represented in IE 6 - 8 supplements that, and we still see the same in recent versions. For example, IE 9 lacking support for local databases, ES5 strict, remaining on long-term release cycles, etc. So if we want better, we have to vote for it, by choosing to drop support for the lesser browsers that exist in the ecosystem.
