YouTube will be phasing out support for Internet Explorer 6 soon

YouTube announcement: We will be phasing out support for your browser soon. Please upgrade to one of these more modern browsers: Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3.6, Opera 10, Safari 4, Google Chrome.

YouTube on Internet Explorer 6

Internet Explorer [IE] 6 does not support web standards and modern technologies to easily develop advanced web sites.

Innovation in web development stagnates as developers has to use obsolete and unnecessarily complex techniques to ensure their pages would render properly in IE.

The online campaign IE6 No More, supported by more than 70 web firms, says that because IE6 browser does not support modern web standards it restricts what developers can do and is “holding the web back”.

Who still uses IE6 and why?

Mostly corporates running their PCs on Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

Windows 2000 can only support Internet Explorer up to version 6, while Windows XP can support any version of Internet Explorer up to the latest 8.

Most of the corporates still uses IE6 because they built applications running on Microsoft APIs belonging to IE6, and if they switch to a newer version of Internet Explorer, their applications will stop working.

YouTube and its parent company Google have chosen to phase out support for IE6 after the attack from hackers in China to their platforms.

Digg has been the first web firm to announce their phasing out support for IE6.

Linux Ubuntu

Ubuntu is a complete desktop Linux operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Manifesto: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customize and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. “Ubuntu” is an ancient African word, meaning “humanity to others”. The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world. Source: DistroWatch.

We tested Ubuntu from the Live CD on several low and high specs computers powered by Intel processors where Windows is installed and our first conclusions are:

  • Faster operating system start up.
  • It works just out of the box.
  • Scrolling pages is smoother.
  • Faster applications start up.
  • Less resource (memory, CPU, graphic card) consumption so that it can run on old or low specs PCs.
  • It runs on Apple computers too.

Firefox .NET ClickOnce Add-on

[Source: Wikipedia]

In February 2009, Microsoft released Service Pack 1 for version 3.5 of the .NET Framework. This update also installed Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant add-on (enabling ClickOnce support).
[Microsoft may be Firefox's worst vulnerability]

The update received a moderate amount of media attention after users discovered that the add-on could not be uninstalled through the add-ons interface.

Several hours after the website Annoyances.org posted an article regarding this update, Microsoft employee Brad Abrams posted in his blog Microsoft’s explanation for why the add-on was installed, and also included detailed instructions on how to remove it.

On 16 October 2009, Mozilla blocked all versions of Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant from being used with Firefox and from the Mozilla Add-ons service.
