As the title already says, Internet Explorer 6 loses popularity as a browser.

IE6 huge amount of usage isn't because it's a great browser, in contrary, it's the worst browser in the top 10. No the main reason why IE6 is still popular is because companies are to lazy to update their browser. Staff just don't care; "It works" and it makes no profit to update.

But now with the new IE8 business are finally slowly updating their browser and IE8 is gaining a lot more interest. I'm not saying IE8 is great, because there are much better browsers available (FF, Opera, Chrome), but IE8 does care much more about standards.

So with this 'great' news, I'm ganna discontinue adding support for IE6. There was already an InfoBar for all >IE6 users, but now I'm not ganna care about IE6 to much anymore. For my JavaScripts I mostly did add support for IE6 missing hover, however the missing CSS Selector support had to be added manually.

Keep your browser up-to-date.
