Google has announced that its Apps suite, including Google Docs, will no longer support IE 6 and other outdated browsers.
From March 1 2010 support for older browsers will be phased out in the Google Docs suites and Google Sites editor. Users of old browsers will discover that these applications might have higher latency in use or may not work properly. Google Apps will keep on to work correctly in IE 7 and above, Firefox 3 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, also Safari 3.0 and above.
The move comes after Microsoft admitted that a defect in IE6 was used by Chinese hackers to attack Google. Since then, the backlash against IE has been harsh and has even led to the German government telling web users to ditch IE totally.
"In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features as well as performance, we're harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology and this includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. Therefore, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft IE 6.0 and other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers," said by the company in an official statement.
