Google Reader ditches support for past browsers, Stephen Shankland, Search Engine Land (May 28)
Google Reader, a web app for reading RSS and ATOM feeds, is dropping support for Chrome 3, IE 6, Firefox 1.0 and 2.0, and Safari 2 and 3 - yet another warning to offices and individuals to upgrade browsers (and if necessary, systems).
"In days of yore, browsers changed relatively slowly and were used to browse largely static Web pages. These days, however, browsers and the Web standards they employ are changing fast, developers want to be able to take advantage of newer technology such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for formatting, and advanced programmers are building full-fledged Web applications that can be impossible to run on old browsers.
