Google to start dropping IE6 support this year.

By Simon, 9 February, 2010, No Comment

Google will scale back IE6 support for Google Docs and Google Sites sometime after March 1st this year. Google announced that decision on Friday, two weeks after the company admitted that hackers had breached its network and stolen information.

“We plan to stop supporting older browsers for the rest of the Google Apps suite, including Gmail, later in 2010,” a Google spokesman confirmed today.
