Considering Blocking IE6 Completely

By Robert Fischer | August 23rd, 2008

I’m about to block IE6 completely from my website. If you’re on IE 6 and read my blog, now is your time to scream. Note that RSS readers which don’t report their user-agent of IE 6 would still be allowed, so if you are on IE6 and want to keep reading this blog, I’d suggest getting yourself a good RSS reader.

For reasons on why to do that, check out Stopping blog spam or Why I started to block Internet Explorer 6. It was shared to me by a comment on this blog from the post For Those Using Internet Explorer 6: Please Stop.

Plus, I’m with Matt’s comment on that post: the only way we’re going to get people to stop using IE6 is if we marginalize it to the point where people complain to their bosses or their nephews or whoever controls whether or not they upgrade.
