Google to Drop IE6 YouTube Support on March 13
Google to Drop IE6 YouTube Support on March 13
Google has said that YouTube will no longer support for IE6 on March 13

March 16 is the day when YouTube will stop working for people still living in the stone age and running IE6. The announcement comes at a time when a significant amount of companies with a Web presence are desperate to see IE6 disappear forever. Many businesses have yet to upgrade to newer versions of Internet Explorer because of the expense involved in upgrading a large network of computers all at once.

Ars Technica was the first to notice that an updated Q&A from YouTube details support for Internet Explorer 6 will no longer be available after March 13. In a post entitled, "Solve a Problem: Upgrading your browser" Google compares using an out of date browser to running a steam engine along the tracks of a bullet train, "It may still work, but it doesn't take advantage of the speed and security of the new technology."

YouTube also plans to cut support for anything older than IE7, Firefox 3.0, Chrome 4.0, and Safari 3.0 as an "older browser." The message above will show up every two weeks indefinitely until the user upgrades their browser.
