End of life for Internet Explorer (IE) 8/9/10 - why you should celebrate!

Microsoft has set the end of support date for Internet Explorer versions 8, 9, and 10 - and it's really soon! In this video, you'll learn why the end of life for old IE will be the start of a new era for web standards. -- If you enjoyed this video, please SUBSCRIBE to HandyAndy Tech Tips for more breaking tech news! -- NOTES: Microsoft is ending support for Internet Explorer versions 8, 9 and 10 on 12th January - a change which will affect users of Windows 7 and later. This means an end to security patches and technical support. Now, I'm most excited about IE8 losing support, because it simply doesn't support so many of the features of modern CSS. It was released back in March 2009, so it's no wonder that its support for modern web standards is dismal. You might be wondering why that's such an issue. All the websites you visit on a regular basis work well on any browser, right? Well, only because web developers have spent countless hours devising these clever hacks and tricks to get everything working smoothly. This includes recreating standard HTML5 and CSS3 features using JavaScript, which is a time consuming and laborious process. Elimination of old browsers also reduces testing time. Just think of all the platforms a production website must be tested on before it's released onto the public Internet. There's Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome for Android, Safari for iOS, and Internet Explorer for Windows Phone: not to mention the five different versions of desktop IE. Now, admittedly, usage of old IE was more of a problem at the beginning of last year: according to NetMarketShare, IE8 made up nearly 20% of Internet Explorer usage back in February 2015. Since then, it's dropped significantly; it's now below 9%. This is possibly in anticipation of the end of support, which was announced way back in 2014. But, in my opinion, any change that can make the web developer's job easier is a welcome one.
