[QUOTE="notabot, post: 850251, member: 75970"] I'd argue we already are close to a new IE6 era. Firefox has the role Netscape had back in the day but Chrome has become the de-facto browser choice. Thumbs up to those of us who were using Opera :love: With one major difference though, back then, 20 years ago, sites hosted on IIS didn't work properly with browsers other than IE6, as MS was using (non-open) extensions to the protocols of the time. Google doesn't do anything like that. Also Chrome today is a pretty cool browser, back then IE6 was not the best browser one could use, it's popularity was based on default installation, not superior features. It will change with time though, if you asked most folks 17 years ago if anything could break the IE6-IIS bind, they'd laugh. Well today it's been done. [/QUOTE]
