As of January 1, 2010, free support for Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) officially ends in all versions of our CMS system—the decision was made based on many years of experience and the technical limitations of the browser itself, which at the time of support termination was over eight years old, making it completely unsuitable for use in the modern web environment that is constantly evolving and bringing new standards and possibilities. This decision will enable us to fully dedicate ourselves to developing advanced functionalities and optimizing the system for modern browsers that support the latest technologies.
Technical obsolescence of Internet Explorer 6 and its consequences
IE6 is outdated software that does not support numerous modern web technologies and standards, such as CSS3, HTML5, advanced JavaScript functionalities, and security protocols that are today crucial for developing modern web applications—this obsolescence limits the possibilities for developing functional, responsive, and secure web solutions, and given that the CMS system is continuously developed in accordance with the latest technologies and industry standards, further support for IE6 would represent a limiting factor that would slow down or prevent the implementation of innovations and improvements. Older browsers like IE6 do not support contemporary security protocols, making them vulnerable to numerous threats, while simultaneously limiting developers' ability to implement functionalities that users today expect—from fast loading to responsive design and advanced interactive elements.
Microsoft's recommendation and availability of free upgrade
Microsoft had already officially recommended that users abandon IE6 and switch to newer browser versions, such as IE7 or IE8, which bring numerous security and functional upgrades—it is important to emphasize that the upgrade is completely free, enabling users a simple and quick transition to a more stable and secure environment for internet browsing, without any additional costs or complicated procedures. Microsoft recognized the limitations of its old browser and actively encourages users to switch to newer versions that provide better protection and support for modern web standards.
Alternative modern browsers as a replacement for IE6
In addition to newer versions of Internet Explorer, users can also choose alternative, contemporary web browsers that continuously improve their performance, security, and support for new technologies—among the most popular are Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Google Chrome, which provide better user experience, faster page loading, and greater compatibility with modern web standards, directly affecting the quality and functionality of websites created on the CMS platform. These browsers are regularly updated and bring new features that improve security and performance, making them an ideal choice for all users wanting the best possible browsing experience.
How we will handle IE6 in future system development
Although we have discontinued official support for IE6, we understand that certain users still use this browser—therefore we will continue to test our clients' websites in this browser as well, striving to provide the best possible user experience for visitors using IE6, but the development of future CMS system functionalities will focus on supporting modern technologies and browsers that enable the full potential of digital solutions without compromise. This means that new functionalities will be optimized for modern browsers, and IE6 users may not be able to use all the advanced options the system offers.
Our vision of development and quality in website development
Our goal is that every client using the CMS system has access to the most modern web technologies, meaning stability, security, and innovation without the limitations of old technologies—the decision to discontinue support for IE6 enables us the freedom to develop without compromise, which will long-term bring a higher quality product and better user experience for all our users. In website development, the use of modern technologies is crucial for achieving top performance, security, and functionality, and our commitment to following technological trends ensures that our solutions are always one step ahead.
Recommendations for users and further development
We recommend to all users who still use Internet Explorer 6 to switch as soon as possible to one of the modern browsers so they can fully enjoy all the advantages provided by our CMS system—this change will not only improve your usage experience but will also significantly increase the security of your computer and data when browsing the internet.
