The Mission

Discover our mission

The idea is pretty simple and straight forward: Internet Explorer 6 is antiquated, doesn’t support basic web standards, and should be phased out. This isn’t about being anti-Microsoft, it’s about pushing people to move to more modern browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera. IE6 accounts for around 20% of web usage, primarily business users. Clients pressure us to ’force’ sites to work in IE6, and designers, not wanting to lose business, comply, using hacks and workarounds. This wastes time and money on top of being extremely frustrating. While Microsoft is encouraging companies and developers to move on from IE6, designers need to unite, and we all need to move on and bring this baby down.
