I came across a quite smart tool to convince people to upgrade their browser from Internet Explorer 6. Then I wondered, exactly how many people are still using IE6?
Here’s some stats from a client’s website. I won’t say what client or the time line I picked for the visits, but I can assure that this is very typical for their statistics.
Here is their browser breakdown:

And here is their breakdown for Internet Explorer:

We’re talking about a major update for this client’s website next year and the idea of having to support Internet Explorer 6 users gives me a headache. I will likely be adding the IE6 Update tool on my own website and talking to a few clients about adding it to theirs. There’s even a WordPress plugin for it.
Let’s kill IE6 dead!
