Instapaper drops IE support too, a bold good move. Congratulations.
All designers and developer struggled with the “IE support” phenomenan for years and Microsoft -as ignorant and arrogant as ever- seems just happy to offer the most ridiculous browser on the planet as a free mandatory dose of anti-design pieace of non-sense with its OS, Windows.
Even IE8 seems hopless. In a world where Safari and Firefox are focusing on CSS3 and HTML5, Internet Explorer just gets slower. I remember IE3 when Netscape used to rule. Lessons learnet? With Microsoft never, ever!
They don’t listen to the users. They just listen to the clients who happens to be senior IT executives in gigantic companies. Do they care about user experience, compatibilty issues and etc etc? Apparently not.
I would suggest a nice badge to be designed: “IE support dumped proudly!” so all designers and developers can place it in their proudly IE-support-dumped websites. Put a link for the users to download Firefox and Safari too.
