Internet Explorer 6 For Mac10/11/2021
The support officially ended in 2005. But then, Microsoft discontinued the development of IE for Mac as Safari was launched. Internet Explorer was once available for Mac from 1998 to 2003.
![]() ![]() Internet Explorer 6 Mac OS Support ForOpening web pages to test glitches and errors is very easy thanks to the familiar layout of Internet Explorer. FeaturesInternet Explorer 11 is the highest version that you can run with this particular solution, and it seems to run flawlessly. This is why virtual machines are used as a way to overcome the lack of active development for the Operating System. CompatibilityBecause there is no native Mac OS support for Internet Explorer there needs to be an intermediate layer between the OS and Internet Explorer. Mac users will probably be most familiar with Parallels as it offers seamless integration with MacOS. Microsoft has created virtual machines for VMWare, Vagrant, VirtualBox, Hyper V, and of course, Parallels.In a few words - HOPELESSLY BROKEN. It's about as similar to IE windows as Firefox is to Safari.So remember, if you're coding a website with ie5mac, you are only catering for ie5 mac users alone and no-one else.IE windows users (even ie 5 win) are completely different browsers.Now that that's sorted, on to the browser itself. IE for windows (ALL versions) uses a completely different rendering engine called Trident.whereas ie5mac (and that alone) uses Tasman.After the install attempt my yahoo e-mail account page doesn't load correctly. It found your upgrade of Internet Explorer 5.2.2 so I tried to update the program. I have yet to come across a site that doesn't work with one of either Safari/Opera/Firefox.My 'Software Update' program automatically seeks out programs that need updated. I've lost count of the number of internet sites this PoS cannot load.In fact, the only way to code a webpage for IE win compatibility is to test it on a windows machine itself (or using something like parallels).there is NOTHING on the mac currently that uses the Trident layout engine.including this junk.It's time to move on people.why use a program that effectively has it's own proprietary engine not used anywhere else, that virtually no-one uses for "proper" internet surfing (maybe 0.001% of all internet traffic at most at a guess?) and further, one that the creators themselves have stopped supporting.?.P.S. Not even M$ themselves support it anymore and it wasn't used anywhere else except in "MSN for OSX" which has also been discontinued long long ago (not to be confused with Messenger for OSX - a different program).Not only that but it has to be the WORST browser in the world when it comes to JavaScript compliance. ![]()
