Fuckers..

"We will be phasing out support for your browser soon.
Please upgrade to one of these more modern browsers."

What browser are you using?

Probably IE 6. I've heard that YouTube is going to phase them out. As someone who does some web design, I can only hope that IE 6 will finally die.

Thats why I went to Firefox.

I, for one, have always been a big fan of the Firefox. ;)

Seriously, I finally took the advice offered here at the Cellar and downloaded Firefox and I really do like it.

Yes, YouTube is getting rid of IE6 support.

About darn time. Besides, Google owns them, so I'd expect the Chrome support to be really good.

Firefox or Chrome should work just fine for that site.

In the modern IT world, does the right hand of a corporation really know what the left hand is doing? I ask, because I work in Healthcare IT, i.e. the stone ages. Another reason I scoff at the pipe dreams of Healthcare reform based on IT pipe dreams: big corporation X commonly has a PACS system that in no way interfaces well with corporation X's RIS system. Developed in completely different silos. Only the brand name connects them.

I like chrome, but it gets AFU with the tabs....seems like they want to come loose and run around willy nilly. also, i can't find the browsing history drop down like firefox has

Flint,

I suppose you are mentioning GE?

I work in Healthcare IT too, however, Google actually, at least on the surface, has the integration between their browser and their applications because the browser is used, in part, to sell Google Apps and their other applications that rely heavily on JavaScript. It would not be good for them to "sell" a browser that doesn't work with their own apps.

At least GE will do the integration for you, and will gladly charge you a lot of money for it. Consumers are much more picky than hospitals :).

Ain't that the damm truth.

I thought it was IE7 but maybe it is 6. I heard so many buggy things about IE8 I just refused to update to it.

Does anyone know, are most of the IE8 issues resolved? Should I go to it?

Any drawback about about switching to Firefox? do I loose any functions?

There is no reason not to switch. Firefox is superior.

Firefox FTW.

I think I may try to go for it. Can I just save all my favorites so I don't loose my links?

Yup, Firefox will import all bookmarks/favorites. Don't know about cookies and passwords.
