YouTube has announced that it is dropping support for Internet Explorer 6 on March 13. This comes just weeks after Google announced that it would start dropping support for the browser on Google services this year.
Internet Explorer 6 users are currently presented with a nice message urging them to upgrade to a newer browser.
“On March 13, we are dropping support for your browser. You’ll still be able to watch videos after this date, but new features may not work properly” reads the message.
This gives users two weeks notice, though it may be of little use to many IE6 users, who are stuck using the browser on corporate networks.
More Google services are dropping support for IE6 later this year, but no firm dates have yet been given.
