Why we don't support IE 8 | ||
------------------------- | ||
|
||
We've been living in 2007 for a while now, pretending that new browser features didn't | ||
exist because they aren't in IE8. You might not even know about some of these features, | ||
or think they are only enabled by jQuery or underscore, simply because it hasen't | ||
been an option to rely upon them. | ||
|
||
Here is the list of features you don't have if you choose to support IE 8: | ||
|
||
- HTML5 audio and video | ||
- SVG | ||
- Canvas | ||
- TrueType fonts | ||
- Media Queries | ||
- CSS Transforms | ||
- Multiple Backgrounds | ||
- CSS3 Units (vh, vw, rem) | ||
- Custom DOM events | ||
- Hardware accelerated graphics | ||
- The DOMContentLoaded event | ||
- addEventListener | ||
- Object.create, .seal, .freeze, .defineProperty | ||
- Array.isArray, .indexOf, .every, .some, .forEach, .map, .filter, .reduce | ||
- A modern javascript engine | ||
- A real developer tools | ||
- A consistent box model | ||
- jQuery 2 | ||
- Google Apps | ||
- Tether | ||
|
||
It's true that IE 8 still holds a big chunk of the browsing population, but the reasons | ||
why they can't update dre dwinding. There are two big reasons for continuing IE 8 support. | ||
|
||
#### Enterprises | ||
|
||
Microsoft is dropping support for XP in April, organizations who want security updates will have to upgrade. | ||
|
||
#### China uses XP | ||
|
||
Chrome, Firefox and Opera all support XP. Nothing prevents users from upgrading, except the inertia of | ||
organizations who still support IE 8. | ||
|
||
#### The Future | ||
|
||
We are skating towards where the puck will be, and we hope that as you decide to drop IE 8 support, | ||
you choose to add Tether to the list of awesome things you can do. |
