STOP LIVING IN THE PAST

You know that neighbour down the street that drives an old beat up truck that spews black soot and wakes up the entire neighbourhood on Saturday mornings because his exhaust is broken? Well, if you’re still using Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) as your browser, you are that guy. But fret not my friend, unlike your annoying neighbour you can get a free upgrade right now, straight from the source, and stop living in the past.

This site is a contribution to the large and growing movement started by a conglomerate of Norwegian newspapers to finally phase out Microsoft’s ancient (in internet terms anyway) Internet Explorer 6 browser. If you find yourself reading this chances are you got here because a site you visited warned you that your browser is out of date. And if you are in fact using Internet Explorer 6, you really are living in the dark ages where web browsing is concerned.

The time has come to phase out this dinosaur of a browser. Permanently. Microsoft is about to roll out IE8 which makes Internet Explorer 6 a full two generations behind the times.

Follow the links below to upgrade Internet Explorer to the current version, read about why upgrading is so important and join the movement to phase out Internet Explorer 6 forever.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO PHASE OUT INTERNET EXPLORER 6. FOREVER.

  1. This post of course assumes that users have control of what browser they can use.

    In a corporate environment, sometimes that is just not the case because of technicial limitations or policies, or the requirement to support external users who hadn't upgraded yet.

  2. Yes, but.. IE6 has security bug and Microsoft will not support again IE6 in next years,... so having ie6 is a lack of security in a corporate environment. I don't want to make service to someone who doesn't care about his security ..
