Reasons why we don't support IE7 or below
There is fair argument that we must use standard complaint browsers in order to achieve Accessibility compliance (AA etc) as required by law. IE7 and below compromises this.
Instead of thinking about the past and trying to conform our sites to Internet Explorer’s will, we are aiming to be future-proofing our system.
There is a very simple solution to this problem with IE7 – update your browser. It’s free, fast an easy.
Updating your browser will increase your Internet browsing speed, allow you to use the latest web apps and, most importantly, your browsing experience will be better protected from evil people who seek to do you harm, since updated browsers have updated browsing security.
We strongly recommend that you upgrade now.
Don't just take it from us
In June of 2011, google officially announced that they would no longer support Internet Explorer 7 (IE7). Older browsers like IE7, they said, just don’t have the “chops” to handle today’s modern web browsing needs. Instead, they urge people to update their browsers.
"As the world moves more to the web, these new browsers are more than just a modern convenience, they are a necessity for what the future holds."
A few months later, Facebook also annouced that they would no longer support IE7. In fact, Facebook’s new Timeline feature doesn’t even visually render in IE7.
And now Twitter has also limited support for IE7 and below.
These are just a few examples of some of the biggest Websites in the world dropping support for IE7 and below.
