Google will begin phasing out support for IE6 and other older browsers on Google Docs suite and Google Sites editor on March 1. I’ve received the notices since I’m an admin for Google Apps.
Seems that, somewhere in 2010, Google Apps will continue to support IE7 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome and above and Safari 3.0 and above.
Since Google has forgotten IE6, it would also be natural for me to forget IE6. My life would be easier developing website without worrying how it will render on IE6 or IE5.
Google said that they want to harness latest improvements in web browser technology and it would be HTML5 and faster Javascript. Google has their experiment on this technology and it was mind blowing experiences. And mind you, IE is not welcome there. It mainly targeted for Chrome browser but Firefox and Safari can view correctly but not IE (I’ve read some comments there about this). Head to Chrome Experiments to see for yourself.
