#BREAKUPWITHIE8<\/h2>\n

You’ve spent six long, excruciating years trying to extract joy from your tired relationship with IE8. That’s a lifetime of cache-clearing, vm-running despair you’ll never get back. March 19, 2015 was your six year anniversary, so we think it’s time to cut your losses and start seeing other browsers.<\/p>\n

To put it in perspective, six years in internet time is something like 20 cat years, which makes Internet Explorer 8 very old indeed. Also, when IE8 came out, Susan Boyle was cool. Just sayin’.<\/p>\n

(Now we put our serious face on)<\/h3>\n

For whatever reason, Internet Explorer 8 recently increased<\/em> in browser share… which is a real kick in the pants for your garden-variety webhead. The sooner we all stop supporting it, the sooner we can collectively work on a more awesome interweb.<\/p>\n

Join the intervention and stop supporting IE8. It’s time for an upgrade.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
