And you're complaining about crappy browser security and you're then supporting IE6? Why support such an outdated browser when you know it has numerous well documented and unpatched vulnerabilities?
Yes, yes, I know, the powers that be need this support for some explainable support even though worldwide IE6 usage is <1% etc etc. Whatever, it's just not worth the hassle. Show them a message and tell them to upgrade or use an alternate browser. I refuse to take any work on (I was freelance until recently) which requires IE6 support, and is a specific question I ask at interview time.
- meaty 14y agoThose statistics are meaningless when a big chunk of the world is a darknet. Our client has 3,000 windows 2000/ie6 workstations still. None of these ever see the world wide web. The numbers are entirely irrelevant. 28% of our client base is on ie6. My point is that it shouldn't be an issue to start with.
