Google Docs and Google Sites to drop IE6 support

Posted by Jonathan Clarke - 03 February 2010

Support for Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) seems to be dropping off quickly. Google has announced that Google Docs and Google Sites will no longer support IE6 come March. This is in addition to Microsoft announcing it will not support IE6 in it's Office Online web applications, nor Sharepoint 2010.

Surprisingly IE6 still commands a decent chunk of browser usage - 20%!. Time to move on from IE6 we think, and there are plenty of good alternatives including IE8, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
