If anything is worthy of the title “load-bearing” it’s IE…
I wonder how many collective years of developers’ lifespans were dedicated just to addressing its quirks.
it was frustrating but i preferred it to dealing with stuff like node, tooling, mobile and tablet views, that stuff really burned me out in a way that IE 6 never did.
When I took web design courses they basically told us you effectively have to make two websites - one for IE6, and one for all the other browsers. It came down to a bunch of crazy hacks and conditionals you had to bake in.
