Time appears to slowly be running out for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6 (IE6), as Google has announced plans to drop support for the browser in its Google Sites and Google Docs applications.
“Many other companies have already stopped supporting older browsers like Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers” said Google Apps Senior Product Manager Rajen Sheth.
Not to feel left out, Google is also dropping support for Firefox 2, Chrome 3, and Safari 2.
“While you’ll still be able to access these Google applications, newer features may not be available and some features may even stop working” said Sheth.
Support for these older browsers is due to end on March 1st. Web users are urged to upgrade their web browsers before this time.

Good riddance. We are so sick of trying to develop work arounds for that crappy browser
