browser-update
Many internet users are still using very old, out-dated browsers – most of them for no actual reason. We want to remind these unobtrusively to update their browser.
Goals
- Provide webdesigners a unified way to tell the user that they need a newer browser to use this website in all its beauty.
- Improve the security, comfort and overall experiance of users by convincing them to update
- But: do not annoy or lock out users
How to use
Go to browser-update.org, choose the browsers you want to be notified and embed the code into your website.
Unobtrusive
Unobtrusive here means:
- We take care not to erroneously notify users by constantly tweaking the detection code
- users of small niche browsers are not notified, users who have no possibility to update are not notified
- We do not block the users form using a website in any way
- The website can be used without any additional step
- The notification will only appear once a day by default
- If the user activly closes the notification, it will reappear after a week
