Ban Internet Explorer (UK Petition) (direct.gov.uk)

No need for spamming government with unproductive petitions: IE 11 is going to be evergreen. Problem solved!


Surely we want IE to increase it's market share? I for one am old enough to remember the mono-culture of IE dominated web browsers in the early 2000s, and how bad it was.

More diverse rendering engines makes the web more robust.

Yeah, it makes development harder, too.


A better petition would have been to ban <IE10 use within Government organisations.

There's no way in the world that the Govt. could ban IE outright.
