If you are an IE6 user, you probably are not reading this blog. However, if you managed to find your way through the web of sites no longer supporting your browser, you may like to know Amazon no longer supports IE6. Why, you ask? Well, because my grammar sucks. Yes, my grammar suck, but no, that is not why Amazon no longer supports this archaic browser. They no longer support IE6 because Internet Explorer is out dated, and well, it just sucks.
Here is what they posted:
We would like to inform you that as of the end of March 2010, we will no longer develop Seller Account pages to be compliant with Internet Explorer 6.
Internet Explorer 6 is no longer supported by Microsoft and is widely considered to be obsolete. It has multiple security flaws and is considerably slower than recent browsers.
This decision allows us to use all modern web development technologies and create an up-to-date user experience.
Although existing seller tools might continue to work for some time with older browsers, if you are still using Internet Explorer 6, we strongly recommend updating your browser to a more recent version now to make sure all Seller Account pages work properly on your computer.
