I wouldn't worry too much about IE6. As soon as they finish installing they'll get a warning telling them to use another browser; MIME type issues mean old IE is a problem for Freenet. Plus they're probably on a non-updated pirate copy of Windows, so hopelessly insecure. Of course if you can be compatible with IE6 that's a good thing, as long as it's not enormously costly maintenance-wise. > > Thanks to standards, developing for modern browsers isn't horrible, unless > one visits vendor-prefix-hell. > But Mozilla is now having unprefixed CSS work in Firefox and, with the > recent announcement of Blink to power Chrome and Opera instead of Webkit, > Chrome and Opera will too. > > The support in legacy / old IE is thanks to JQuery.

Unfortunately bandwidth and disk space are things we more or less have to ask about, or people become very unhappy. But we can have sane defaults most of the time. I'd be in favour of only asking about passwords if "do you know somebody using freenet" is true, or not asking at all and maybe having an alert later on. > > +Irfan > On Apr 3, 2013 10:13 PM, "Steve Dougherty" <st...@asksteved.com> wrote: > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > On 04/03/2013 08:43 PM, irfan mir wrote: > > > Hello all, I just wanted to update you on that I got the > > > opportunity to make some major progress on the interactions of the > > > new security setup. > > > > > > Currently all the interactions work in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, > > > Opera (latest), and IE10.
