Dont Support IE

Internet Explorer

Having to design websites we have to consider all the browsers and how they will react to coding, there is one main browser more than any other that is not keeping up with web design and the coding and that is IE.

Having stumbled across a website that is NOT supporting IE i thought I would do my part and write this post to get more people to follow this trend. Below is a couple of reasons as to why IE is not the browser you should be using to view the web.

Security

IE makes it incredibly easy to install malicious software on your sytem without you knowing about it, mostly through ActiveX. With one line of code (javascript) it is possible to crash IE6 and most versions of IE7.

Web Standards

IE does not follow the standards that modern browsers should be required to obey.

“The Internet works for one simple reason – everything at its core has been built on agreements that bind it together … These agreements are forged by a body of people whose goal is nothing short of designing a better and more efficient Internet for everyone. Microsoft, for some odd reason, seems bent on breaking stride with these agreed-upon standards.” -Tech News Watch
So if you agree with this and feel its time that IE caught up with other browsers then go to this site http://www.wedontsupportie.com/ and pledge your support.
