Anyone still think this browser is worth supporting? I for one, don't because of its low market share and I have no way of testing for it.

I personally dont think its worth it and dont even bother. Its never been well regarded amongst even mac users for christ sake

Any mac user using IE instead of safari doesn't deserve to see my sites

Haha. My sentiments exactly.

I have only one friend who uses a Mac and I asked him which browser he uses. "Internet Explorer usually, sometimes I use Safari."

I nearly lost my shit.

i ignore it for personal projects but anything for a client i make sure that it works.

best approach seems to be to have a seperate stylesheet for iemac and to tweak / fix it from there.

its not that hard.

i agree it's not "hard", but it can be time consuming.

if it's a redesign of an existing site i'd check the logs first, if it's a clean slate then i'd base my decision whether to support it on the subject matter and likely audience

...or if the client still insists on viewing it in IE, even when you explain all about it and the pro's and cons to them.

Quite a lot of poeple I've worked for still insist on using it. They normally ask "what? there's other browsers, like what. Hmm, sounds a bit dodgy to me I'll stick with IE I think" either that or they tell you they're using safari - or whatever - and they've actually gone back to their old IE ways.

Sadly, there are many, many people who think that Internet Explorer is the internet.
