Internet Explorer 6 may finally be on its way out…

Posted by Olly in Interestingness

StatCounter, who provide website analytics tools, has today indicated that Internet Explorer 6 usage now represents less than 5% of all web browsers in use. This is based on data gathered over the past month. Furthermore, Internet Explorer 6 has seen a fall in market share of approx. 5% over the past 12 months. This is not only great news for web developers like us, but also for the web users moving away from the browser (which is now almost 9, yes 9, years old!), since it contains many security vulnerabilities, and has extremely poor web standards support.

So long IE6!
