Internet Explorer 6
Once upon a time, Internet Explorer was the dominant internet browser on the market. Would you believe that it once had the best support of modern browser technologies? But this was almost nine years ago! Conversely, among today’s ever changing internet climate, it is severely lagging. It struggles to render modern websites correctly, it is dangerously insecure and it lacks in usability features that other free alternatives can provide.
For this reason, Speed will not be supporting Internet Explorer 6. If you are using Internet Explorer, you may find that the website appears disjointed, or the some content is missing. You should also see a friendly reminder at the top of your page reminding you to upgrade. Many other companies have already dropped Internet Explorer 6 support. You can read Google’s official statement on the browser here.
We highly recommend using a free browser alternative such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. However, if you would like to stick with Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer 8 is available to download free of charge.
