The major turn for the average user was actually 2009/2010. IE6 usage seems to have dropped below 1% by 2012, still before React's public release: https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/4/18529381/google-youtube-internet-explorer-6-kill-plot-engineer https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/4/18529381/google-youtube-in...
That said, I was on a team that was still supporting IE6 around 2014. We had clients, mostly in China from what I heard, that were required to use it because internal tooling had developed around it and their IT teams wouldn't let them upgrade.
- acdha 2y agoYeah, I worked on things geared towards the general public so we had to support, say, a senior citizen who was using old computers at the underfunded library or senior center. They weren’t a high percentage of total traffic but it was still millions of people. It was definitely frustrating knowing that a better world was possible but not quite there.
