As reported earlier, a tsunami-like surge of opposition to Internet Explorer 6 — the outdated, buggy browser installed on all too many PCs since the year 2001 — is building. Google announced that it plans to phase out support for IE6 by the end of this year. Now, several new ninjas are stepping up to expedite the browser’s demise…and not a minute too soon.

We’re proud to join forces with the folks who are fighting the good fight — all in the name of websites that display the way they should, without shimmy-shake, overlapping text, and other bugaboos that most viewers blame on designers rather than software.

At IE6nomore, the message is clear:

As any web developer will tell you, working with IE 6 is one of the most difficult and frustrating things they have to deal with on a daily basis, taking up a disproportionate amount of their time. Beyond that, IE 6′s support for modern web standards is very lacking, restricting what developers can create and holding the web back.

At ByeByeInternetExplorer”, the mantra is the same: paste the code, tell the world that IE6 needs to go.

As a service to our clients, we will be adding this warning code — which only appears if a visitor is using the outdated browser — to their sites. The warning pop-up window politely urges visitors to update their software, and provides links to four of the most popular and//or reliable browser applications: Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer 9, and Chrome.

If you aren’t currently a Watershed Online Media client but want help with installing the code on your website, give us a call. We’re eager to help.
