/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Hot on the trail of social link aggregator Digg,
YouTube may be dropping support for the aging Internet Explorer 6
browser. While there is no official date – there isn’t any official
comment at all actually – users who still have to work with IE 6 are
getting a message suggesting they should update to a modern browser.
"We will be phasing out support for your browser soon. Please upgrade
to one of these modern browsers," the notice IE 6 users are getting
says. For YouTube modern browsers means Google Chrome (coincidently
or not, the first option), Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3.5.
As a side note, YouTube was already pushing Google Chrome as an
alternative asking users to "try YouTube in a new web browser" so now
Internet Explorer 6 users will be getting two links to download Chrome
on the same page very close to each other actually, Softpedia reports.
According to gs.statcounter.com statistical website, 13,7% of users
operate with Internet Explorer 6 in Armenia.
