Thread:Talk:Compatibility/Update A-grade browser support/reply (5)

IE6 is especially deficient, as I expect you know. It is undeniable that these deficiencies hold back good improvements for the other ~98%. The deployment of class="hlist" on en:wp (w:en:WP:HLIST, horizontal list styling in navboxes) is a good example. IE6 support is via js, which bogs down on larger pages (it's supporting IE7&8, too). It's quite possible that IE6 will linger indefinitely at something a hair above 1%. Mostly it's pirated copies in China on XP. Most people in the developing world are jumping at the various modern-and-free browsers. That 1% set in stone? Oh, and thanks for the 2.22% data point. Good to know.
