Not necessarily. IE6 is a terrible browser that was made more terrible by its widespread adoption, meaning everybody had to support it.

As more users adopt auto-updating browsers like Chrome (and hopefully soon, Firefox) and as browser market share spreads out, there may not be a single browser that is both terrible and widely-used. So there may be no economic reason for supporting the worst browsers.

And there will be much rejoicing.



Not true, IE6 was very well received when it launched, it was a capable browser. The problem is that was 10 years ago and it never went away
