News from Browser-update.org
2010-01-19
Its been a long time since the last update here and it may seem like this project is not improving. But we have plenty of updates, changes and achievements to talk about.
- Users: First of all we have over 6000 Websites using the browser-update.org script now. This is a impressive number but we need to reach more webmasters! So spread the word about this campaign. The Google-Hack showed that a secure and up-to-date browser is very important, with even Microsoft now advising to abandon IE 6.
- Translation: We moved to a new (and hopefully easier) translation system using gettext.
- Customization: Now you can fully customize the notification using CSS and Javascript. This includes text, language, “open link in new window” and even a Javascript callback function.
- New Server: We were moving to a faster server in November, because our old server could not handle the load anymore.
- Future: This year we need to decide if we should move Internet Explorer 7 to the default-list of outdated browsers.
