IE is dead.

Or not? What do you think?

We designed http://www.kultstudio.com/ and do not support IE. Just seems we would have had to dumb-down our site too much to make it compatible. That or create a whole new website just for IE people. Is this a mistake or will IE be phased out over time?

 

Currently a big mistake if you ask me

 

I don´t use Ie but i think that they stand up now.

 

Its almost dead - most people use firefox and chrome and various others - i have never ever heard that anyone has recently installed IE over firefox or other browsers and is happy

 

Our recent stats show that around 1-2% of people clicking on our site are using IE. IE users will get a splash page showing we don't support IE and recommend another browser such as firefox, chrome, safari, opera.

 

IE Is Not Yet Dead

 

Slowly dying but not dead. It's just a matter of time before they get overtaken.

 

it seems like chrome is doing pretty well.
I stop using IE for few years now. I am now using firefox, occasionally chrome.

 

Since ms includes ie with new windows computer in a lot of countries there will always be those that use it. People are becoming more aware of other browsers and more likely to install them than they used to. It wouldn't bother me any if ie just died off, but I don't think that will happen at least not for a while yet.

 

No ie is still used to download other browsers on a new computer , other than that its pretty much dead.

 

can't remember the last time I used IE so i guess its dead..

 

As a web developer and designer, I had always used firefox for the last 3-4 years. However, now Chrome is faster, better dev tools and just overall seems more "polished"

 

Well i use mozilla mostly but when its comes to image uploading in social networking websites, mozilla don't work proper as IE does..Its nol like its dead still many using it.

 

Not smart, IE is still widely used, after all it comes with windows and the majority of the world uses windows.

 

IE isn't dead yet its just their market share has come down after the launch of chrome. But i feel IE 9 is better than the earlier versions and still many people support IE

 

I have no IE for a long time, IE function is too simple, no defense capabilities, and now there are too many good browser like firefox

 

well it should support everything, make a good web and dont lose no one of your visiters

 

even though most people don't install IE over Firefox, chrome, safari or opera. There are still a lot of people who don't wish to change there environment. They have been using IE for a long time or since they started using computers that they don't want to change.

If a visitor wants to visit your site he/she will download a new browser, else they will just end up going to another website.

I suggest you keep track of all the visitors using IE, in case the % or number of users increase i suggest you create an IE friendly version, also since we can never be sure which visitor is our potential next client - i suggest you do something for IE than the splash page.

 

I dont use IE after i used firefox.
but i m thinking IE10 will do something with that.

 

The common problem of web developer is the compatibility of sites from firefox to IE. There are instances that the site design is not perfectly fitted to IE, so you need to put some code in this just to make the design perfect.
