It is the worst web browser, from the beginning at the end. Today I've heard some news. Internet Explorer 9 beta is almost ready to be launched (in September). In this situation, I think the IE6 must die and to be replaced by powerful browsers (Firefox, IE8 & Opera browser.) I think Internet Explorer 6 must be allowed to die.

IE6 should be allowed to die but how many of us are willing to say we won't sell to that 20% of consumers because our webpage won't look/feel as good? Not many.

The best designs come through with the use of .PNG images. I just saw a design clients site done with no IE HACK code set aside in the CSS for IE. The images are all pngs and look like crap.

Although it has made me a better designer It just takes so much more time to test. I hated designing websites and coding for IE6.

It doesn't make any sense to support a browser as outdated as IE6. A radical solution to make people come to their sense is to just block users who use this kind of old browsers.

Most people update their computers often enough you will not lose that many people by ignoring this niche. Few of the developers I know put any thought toward IE6.

Though their file sizes can be larger than GIF’s and JPG’s, they are generally clean, crisp graphics. Internet Explorer 6 does not support transparency in PNG images, rather it displays an ugly gray color as transparency’s replacement. Firefox, IE7, Opera, and Safari all support PNG transparency but IE6 clearly never will and that’s holding back businesses from using PNGs on their website. I’m a huge fan on PNG images.
