The current pattern of browser market gradually matures, the mainstream brands such as IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Google Browser and so on. IE6 is Microsoft InternetExplorer browser, a version was WindowsXP together 10 years ago with the release of, this day has been the major browser makers and security firms and even governments pen cutting mouth to punish the browser, and now even Microsoft's own IE6 lost all hope as soon as possible, while the international level, with the release of the door The Young IE8 less than a year's time more than the IE6 market share. In respect of such a browser, even in the Chinese market still has 70% market share, which could really make our international friends can not understand.
IE6 in China's high share of the following reasons:
WindowsXP success.
WindowsXP is the most successful of a Microsoft browser, while the WindowsXP at home is even more mainstream, accounting for the vast majority of market share, IE6 is integrated in the WindowsXP system, released, XP's share also boosted the share of IE6.
Piracy seriously.
Domestic home computer in the XP system, other than the possible exception of brand-name computers, 99% are pirated, and these pirates were mostly similar to the tomato in the garden, a computer company to install the version of the Ghost, can not Windowsupdate to update, very reduce the large safety factor the same time, also lost an updated version of IE browser to a high chance.
Other brands in China, to promote the browser is not ideal.
Despite previous Firefox Firefox carried out in the Google ads to promote, but because the relative complexity of the operation of Firefox, the interface is not enough and friendly, it has not been vast number of Chinese Internet users receive, Opera, Safari itself is seldom people know, Google Browser GoogleChrome has just launched, although the results were good, but far from the popular level.
A lot of internal page design bias IE6.
Because a high share of IE6 in China, so many web designers are only seeking IE6 ignore the effect of web design standards, China's past have a lot of website design are IEONLY, even IE6ONLY, web design code are very non-standard often only look at the effect of IE6, subject to a standard Web browser to display hand, is not normal, and even appalling.
Banks and government websites only support IE6.
Domestic network silver spent all know, as if all the bank's Internet banking is the best support for IE6, and some even do not support IE8, not to mention other browsers, and government websites are even more numerous, the most famous If IE6ONLY is the website for each host in the country have to put a link below that the Ministry of Industry and Information web site.
Windows VISTA to promote failure.
In the VISTA system failure at the same time, VISTA integrated IE7 also failed to promote the well.
Browser based on IE kernel shell's success.
As such Tencent TT, surf, Window of the World's success, making these browsers IE6 shell nicely complements a variety of features and performance deficiencies, there are lots of people think that TT Tencent installed or used in the surf is not IE, and thus ignore the IE browser version, but has been more and more browsers begin to support Webkit engine.
Domestic Internet literacy is not enough.
The current domestic Internet users are said to have nearly 400 million, but 400 million people mostly use the computer when the game can often use your browser to see the possibility of 100 million web pages are not that willing to try and Comparison of other browsers, how many people?
Internet users not pay enough attention to network security.
Yan Zhao domestic such as various door, indecent video event has to a certain extent, illustrates this point, Internet users to privacy does not attach importance to the protection and network security, while the popularity of the Internet safety knowledge is very inadequate, so most of the safety of users of IE6 defects are not aware of.
The power of habit
Chinese New Year to come home to help mother's computer reload XP operating system (to install Windows7 mother said that would not use), and upgrade to IE8, the results of mother ordered me to change back to IE6, because she used on the label (TAG) are not used to, but also used to open multiple windows with IE6 to play fun farm.
Share of each browser shown in Figure:
An opportunity to eliminate IE6
Nevertheless, the share of IE6 or a daily reduction, mainly through the following aspects.
Windows7 popularity of the operating system
As Windows7 integration is the IE8, so the popularity of Windows7 right out of IE6 has an important role in the current authorized level of the user Windows7 point of view, completely replace the WindowsXP only a matter of time. Microsoft Windows7 Official Website
Large sites to give up on IE6 support, such as Google
Recently, Google announced that its subsidiary businesses, such as Gmail, GoogleDocs and other services to stop support for IE6, prompting users to upgrade to support web standards and performance and better browser, now more of a large site also joined the ranks.
Personal website and blog of the resistance
At present, many of the owners personal website and blog pages are added to remind users to upgrade the code in IE6, and even joined the KillIE6 column, if visitors use IE6 to access, there will be a prompt to remind the visitor to upgrade or replace your browser .
