Return of the browser weenie

[blufive]

It’s a while since I wittered about browser stats. Which is a bit of a shame, because they recently got really interesting again.

Amusingly I am wearing the IE6 flatline t-shirt Microsoft sent me recently...

Stuff like the "death to IE6" campaign is one of the reasons I'm much nicer about the IE team than I was 8-10 years back. I'm still not a fan of IE9, but I can't say it's a bad browser, nor can I say that the IE people aren't trying... The big update push this year has been another thing worth applauding, and the effect really was quite startling when it first showed up in our stats.

My TL;DR; I can just fixup the rendering on our product on IE8+ then?

It would depend on the stats of the site in question, and what the official line is (or how much you think you can deviate from same). IE7 is still at about 5% for us, and therefore still gets some effort (read: as little as we think we can get away with) from us.

Certainly you should be paying more attention to mobile safari than IE7.
