And about time too.

This news from Google is perhaps the biggest nail in the ageing coffin of Internet Explorer 6 to date: http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/google-to-stop-supporting-internet-explorer-6/

Firefox
Internet Explorer (Latest version available for your operating system)
Google Chrome
