It's funny how so many web devs just ignore older browsers out of a sense of superiority towards users of those browsers. I've even heard some of these guys say "they're not my target audience, so why should I care?" They are, of course, inevitably, Apple fanbois. Fortunately, they are not usually in charge of making business decisions at any significant companies.
- saraid216 13y agoIs it considered ignoring them if I go down to the shooting range, put the IE6 logo on the target, and let loose on a weekly basis?

- kaeawc 13y agoIts funny how many people spend so much time supporting old browsers out of a sense of superiority towards web devs who ignore them. I've even heard some of these guys call us "Apple fanbois".
- PavlovsCat 13y agoI'm ignoring older browser because it's the difference between a lot of pain and a modicum of joy. (Also, most of the actually cool stuff these days? "Sorry, must be this modern to ride") Also, if you keep supporting older browser, people will keep using them. If they keep using them, they will likely have vulnerabilities. So in a sense, dropping support for old browsers is like tough love.. it's not an easy choice for anyone to lose out on however small a fraction of visitors/users, but sometimes you just have to do it, "for the greater good".
