Google Incrementally Dropping Support For Older Browsers

Posted by timothy on from the hey-3.5-isn't-that-old dept.

AmiMoJo writes "Google announced on its blog that it is dropping support for Firefox 3.5, Internet Explorer 7 and Safari 3 from the 1st of August. In these older browsers you may have trouble using certain features in Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, Google Docs and Google Sites, and eventually these apps may stop working entirely."

    If you need IE to download Firefox, then you should turn in your Geek card. Even a retarded, comatose, braindead geek has a damned flash drive with Firefox and a couple dozen other "must have" applications on it - that is, IF he doesn't have a server to pull them from.
