Tech: Major Web sites like YouTube and Digg are dropping IE6 support

  • YouTube The Google-owned video service recently started displaying on IE6 a message that they would be dropping support for the browser soon, recommending that users switch to Chrome, IE8 or Safari, a message met with cheers by some. (Including us!)
  • Digg While Digg isn’t nearly so hardcore about the switch, they have been investigating it, and will likely be ditching login support for IE6. They found that many IE6 users can’t upgrade because companies are lazy and built on crappy, poorly-made IE6-only Web apps.

    This is exactly why the hospi­tal I work at won’t upgrade to IE7 or 8. We use a ton of weird appli­ca­tions that are web based and upgrad­ing completely breaks them.
