OMA of Ideavia says:

Hi! We’ve stopped developing for IE6 this year. Now we show a message for IE6 users urging them to upgrade in order to browse modern sites. For example: http://www.elcafe10.com
(the message can be seen if you have IE6 installed through “MultipleIEs” of if you just spoof your “user-agent”). –OMA

John of New Focus says:

Agreed the web development world has already put enough effort into this. I’m not doing anything deliberately to break IE 6 but from now on my changes will be tested for standards compliance and in current version browsers. No more specific IE 6 testing for me. –John Patrick

txtr says:

Actually, we thought about IE 6 once or twice while developing txtr.com – and quickly decided, that creating a rich ajax-application for IE6 is like squaring the circle. Not to speak of all the transparent pngs…
So we’re now kindly asking our users to get a /decent/ browser.

I would rather eat wasps than have anything to do with Internet Explorer 6.

Andrew of Your Search Advisor says:

My shop recently switched to Macs and haven’t looked back. IE6 is still running on an old machine somewhere, but just for browser testing on new sites. Hopefully the IE6 Death March will finally allow us to exorcise the demon. –Andrew Miller

Daniel Fisher says:

Thanks! I really like your initiative!!!

StoreOne says:

We will stop the support for this obsolet browser, right now in March.

Jacob of The Web Squeeze says:

With much deliberation we have decided that we will no longer be supporting IE6. We will encourage the members of our web design and development community to join your effort and STOP supporting IE6. In fact, to assist in the effort we will be making a post on our web design magazine to inform our readers about your site and motivate them to join the endeavor!

As of March 2009, The Web Squeeze, LLC. is no longer supporting IE6! –Jacob Haug

Markus of Coffeebean Webdesign says:

I´m bored of building workarounds for such a prehistoric piece of browser software. It takes even longer to fix the ie6 problems than building the whole site for modern browsers. So i decided to drop ie6 support after may 2009 an i will definitely join the death march with ab big smile on my face –Markus Grosse

We never support IE6 for mybrief.de. This Browser is a horror for every Developer. –Alexander
