Sorry, but I want to hear about the big ones. Orkut, not so much, but if a top 100 site drops support, that's news to me. It'd help me convince my clients to drop support, too.
- halo 17y agoOrkut is the 125th most popular site in the world according to Alexa (yes, I know that's an unreliable metric). This is fantastic news... if you're in Brazil.
- johns 17y agoTwo reasons I want to stop seeing them. First it means phasing out IE6 is the norm which will only happen when its market share is insignificant. Second, I don't like seeing them because they don't really give you anything useful. If you need evidence that it can be done, you've got that (YouTube, etc) and I doubt that your site size and audience are the same as one of the large sites so your reasons for supporting or not supporting it will be very different than a large site, depending on your audience. So they're basically useless. If you like them because it's reassuring to you that there's hope one day you won't have to suffer through supporting IE6 I can't help you. We'll always be wishing for some legacy barrier to be removed.
