I'm going to tell you something I did a while back and I know that many of you as developers will think this to be crazy....
So if you want to try it out yourself, but still think it maybe a crazy move.... Try a site you may have that you can "risk" or maybe don't care about.
A while back I finally got completely tired of trying to fix, debug, and support Internet Explorer. I found myself no longer caring to try to make this 1 browser work, when all the following did just fine....
Desktop (Home Computer)
Yet only Microsoft Internet Explorer is the only one that was giving us issues. I found myself adding more code, just to support that 1 browser. And even more code to support different versions.
So one day I complete decided to kill Internet Explorer and discontinued support for it all together.
Sure I got a few upset people and at first things looked bad. But let me tell you.... My SEO rating is UP, traffic is UP, membership is UP, and I'm less stressed.
We went from having Microsoft Internet Explorer being at #1, then going down to dead last, and now with the exception of 2 members... It's all done and over with. And things are better.
I would recommend it.
