@rail personally, I'd rather block #Chrome but then again I hate #DRM and don't want to weaponize it for #ads but rather inform people that #Google is, in fact, #evil!

I wished @BNetzA and @verbraucherzentrale would aggressively go after sites violating #NetNeutrality :loading: and doing #discrimination against users for using specific (still maintained!*) #WebBrowser|s.

[*Otherwise they'd force #WebDesigner|s to still support #InternetExplorer 6 / #IE6 aka. "#InternetExploder" to this day…]

This is *not* cool or normal.

A company called #Datanyze refuses to connect for #Firefox browsers!?!

I will *not* be downloading a new browser to access your crummy website! This incompatibility is dangerous, and really - a stain on your technical competence.

Also super rude!

#Mozilla #Chromium #Chrome #Web #Browser #IE6

Reminder that #Chrome is the new #IE6.

@ShadowJonathan Effectively we have this Duopoly of #Gecko and #Chromium...

I mean #SeaMonkey based off #Netscape still exists but I don't consider it a valid option for most use-cases, unless you'd literally accept #LynxBrowser and #IE6 as well...

We should give #Microsoft some credit for things like inventing AJAX (XMLHttpRequest), #TypeScript and #ReactiveX. Also, developing #VsCode, #Halo and #AgeOfEmpires. And some decent hardware, like keybords and mice. They're not only #WindowsMe and #IE6

#Frontend #PubQuiz:

Who remembers the significance of #WindowsXP service patch 3 in terms of failing #JS #featureDetection in #InternetExplorer 6?

#webdev #IE6 #PE #ProgressiveEnhancement #theGoodOldDays

Listening to a really old episode of the #StackOverflow podcast. They're discussing #IE6. Scream😱 . Still have nightmares about all the HTML/CSS workarounds my colleagues had to put in place just for it. And how many years were #NHS #Scotland folk using it way after they were supposed to. Canny abide client-side stuff. Write once all day long.

@thomasfuchs personally, I think the #InternetExplorer should always be called #InternetExploder since it - espechally #IE6 - really fecked up #WebDesign and acted more as a cyber-jihadist if one didn't accomodate for it's bs.

Don't believe me?
Ask @fuchsiii

@puniko #InternetExploder ist still big in #Japan...

And yes, I call the "#InternetExplorer" "Internet Exploder" because #IE6 acts like a cyber-jihadist towards #WebDesign and completely fucks up everything unless you literally code for it and break interoperability...

Don't even get people like @fuchsiii started on #IE...

2011-03-04T23:46:31+00:00: RT @Microsoft: It's not often that we encourage you to stop using one of our products, but for #IE6, we'll make an exception: http://bit ...

#x86 architecture is like the #IE6 of CPU design, with only legacy compatibility requirements having it stick around long after its utility and security liabilities have deemed it unfit for modern usage

Mozilla #Firefox doing an existential crisis

#IE6

Transformation complete.

#Google is evil!

Just visit https://grow.google/certificates/interview-warmup/ with your #Firefox browser and see what happens.

It's #IE6 all over again. In case Google changes that last minute because of its shitstorm potential - here is a screenshot…

@emmanuelc@mamot.fr Si je me fis au tableau que l'on trouve ici https://devdocs.io/css/cursor#Browser_compatibility ... C'est une innovation présente à partir de l'arrivée de #ie6, #css niveau 2 😀

@anarchosynthiecat well, it is what it is - if firefox and other browser engines die out, we are going to have the same nasty situation as we had with IE 6.

Like the situation was in 2000: Want to use 100% width in your CSS _or_ table width attributes? No chance in hell - IE 6 doesnt support it yet! #ie6 #browserhell #iedoesntlikeme

@ginsterbusch that "#ie6" hashtag tho 😂

Quick reminder: Why you indeed should use Firefox

I lost sight of the original toot mentioning this, otherwise I'd boost, but there's a kind of interesting story, or tale of history..
