“By torturing the IE rendering engine every couple of years instead of putting it out of its misery [by switching to Webkit], Microsoft contributes to the withering away of its own monopoly. That might not be good for the shareholders, but it is great for everyone else.”
— Jeffrey Zeldman, IE9 Preview (via webkitbits)
“The real situation is that today, two and a half years after the iPhone debuted, web developers can no longer count on every viewer being able to render Flash. The percentage of web user agents with Flash installed is now going down, not up. My money says that trend is permanent, and further, it’ll reach a tipping point in the not-so-distant future and Flash will turn into something like Internet Explorer.”

With every sale of the iPad that’s one more person using a high class standards-based web browser (Safari) and email client (Mail). Yay!

“Any IT professional who is still allowing IE6 to be used in a corporate setting is guilty of malpractice. Think that judgment is too harsh? Ask the security experts at Google, Adobe, and dozens of other large corporations that are cleaning up the mess from a wave of targeted attacks that allowed source code and confidential data to fall into the hands of well-organized intruders. The entry point? According to Microsoft, it’s IE6.”
Ed Bott: It’s time to stop using IE6 (via Daring Fireball).
Each time I start working on a new website it makes me love my job

This is because working with Safari/Google Chrome is a dream, and I enjoy it so much.

Then when it comes to testing in Internet Explorer I just want to scream.

A beautiful overview of Chrome’s features.

“The best thing a user can do to advance the Web is to help move people off IE 6”
— Ryan Servatius, senior product manager for Internet Explorer.
“Microsoft has no choice but to make a leap of development faith, by abandoning the IE rendering engine and releasing new WebKit-based desktop and mobile browsers. IE is a dead platform.”
— Joe Wilcox, Microsoft should dig into the WebKit to stop Google from framing IE
Webbunny browser support

I have added some support for Internet Explorer 8 on my site, as it was looking a bit of a mess before.

I refuse to support the horrible messes that are older versions of Internet Explorer though, so if you’re still on IE6 or IE7, I urge you to update your browser (Safari is a good choice, or Firefox).
