If you’ve developed a website before or been through the process of having your site redesigned, you most likely have experienced bugs during the testing phase that may show on one browser, but not another. Internet Explorer 8 is an absolute pain and usually needs CSS and JavaScript specific to IE8 for your site to work the same as it does on other browsers.
Usage of IE8 is declining and it’s official – Microsoft no longer supports it either. Over the past 2 years we’ve only fixed IE8 bugs if they were reported, but the sites were not actively tested in IE8. Now, we can go a step further and end our support for IE8 as well.
