It’s Time To Stop Supporting Internet Explorer 7 (IE7)

It’s Time To Stop Supporting Internet Explorer 7 (IE7)

I can't take it anymore, using IE7 that is! You might wonder why I am still using it? Well as web developers we need to make sure that sites render correctly in all the major browsers and that includes IE7.

Yes you can use IE tester but in our experience these give an indication of how skewed your site might be in IE7 but they don't give you the real thing, hence I get the short straw and its on my machine.

I have had enough now, most of the key sites I use such as Google and its applications and Facebook Timeline and many more just don't support IE7 anymore so off I have to go to Firefox and type it all in again when I forget.

Well it appears that 94.2% of Internet users use something other than IE7, so that leaves me in the 5.8% of users that are using an out dated load of poop!!

You know what I don't care if it works in IE7 or not anymore and spending so much time an energy tweaking sites so that they work in IE7, its time to upgrade, Spring clean and announce we don't support IE7 anymore!!! Yeah I feel liberated.

Great so I can update to IE8! Sorry what's that IE10 out soon, talk it won't support Flash!

I'm doomed.
