This is such an incredible story. Not just as someone who had to support IE6... Ok entirely because I was someone who had to support IE6. https://t.co/UgaSWFNp3V

We've all done this.
Great blog post by @zacman85 that details how the YouTube team's decision to show a banner that IE 6 was no longer supported killed usaage of that browser.

Good to keep in mind as you see banners in Google Docs about Chromium Edge not being supported.https://t.co/TdySNpizJq pic.twitter.com/upA97jZnLi

Fascinating story from early YouTube on how they dropped IE6 support.

Something I kept expecting to pop up in this story but doesn’t ( which maybe a symbol of deeper issues) - Microsoft or the IE team reaching out to resolve this. Never happens!https://t.co/NALoGELtRo
A Conspiracy To Kill IE6 // a reminder that the IE team was downsized and doing only minimal security work. IE6 released in 2001 and IE7 wasn’t until end of 2006 having been reconstituted late in Vista.
