The problem with IE6 was not that users didn&#x27;t update. It was that IE created a monoculture among developers, using IE only features. Which resulted in code which got out on the web, and stayed there.<p>And then every browser had to either 1. be &quot;broken&quot; because the web-pages didn&#x27;t work, or 2. forego W3C, standard-process and all that and emulate IE&#x27;s bugs in order to be &quot;real&quot; browsers people could use.<p>And long after IE6 is gone, all that is still hanging around, causing issues to this day.<p>Right now we&#x27;re getting a Chrome monoculture. People are using pre-standard Chrome and Webkit only features in production websites. In the future those websites will stick around, no matter if Chrome users update their browsers or not.<p>Chrome is the new IE. With Google giving a shit about real standardization, launching non-standard features in Chrome and production websites at the same time, they are the new Microsoft.
