Talk:Support/Browser Support

Proposed: Drop IE6 support

Given that IE6 is a small (how small) percentage of our users, dropping support completely has been suggested. What info would we need to make this decision?

• What percentage of users do we still have on IE6?
  • 0.14%
• How much time do we spend on IE6 when fixing front-end issues?
• When users are using IE6, what are they doing?

Proposed: Drop IE7 to C grade

Given that IE7 is a small percentage of our users, we should consider dropping to C grade.

• What percentage of users do we still have on IE7?
  • 0.33%
• How much time do we spend on IE7 when fixing front-end issues?
• When users are using IE7, what are they doing?

Proposed: Drop IE9 to B grade

• What does the site look like in IE9 right now? Are the visual differences significant? (I thought a lot of the CSS styles we apply aren't in IE9 but will be in IE10).
• We can officially drop to B grade when IE10 comes out.

Proposed: Only officially support Firefox latest+beta in contributor areas

• I am pretty sure most of the stuff Just Works in everything minus IE (Army of Awesome is busted at least in IE if not others as well).
• Do any contributors use anything other than Firefox? If so, other than Firefox and Chrome?
• We should be Mozillian/pro-open-web here and support anything modern. Jsocol 12:37, 27 April 2012 (PDT)
