Google Incrementally Dropping Support For Older Browsers 353
AmiMoJo writes "Google announced on its blog that it is dropping support for Firefox 3.5, Internet Explorer 7 and Safari 3 from the 1st of August. In these older browsers you may have trouble using certain features in Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, Google Docs and Google Sites, and eventually these apps may stop working entirely."

I still don't think it's quite as good as the recent versions of Chrome and Firefox, but I think some credit is due to Microsoft on that front.
Poor summary (Score:5, Informative)
As usual, the summary leaves out an important modifier -- this only applies to Google APPS, not Google.
From TFA:
Google will still support all older browsers on its search engine. It wouldn't make sense to discriminate there.

A couple of things:
* Not supported isn't the same thing as doesn't work
* Don't use Google if it is costing you significant time and money to do so
Firefox 3.5 is almost 2 years old now and is no longer supported by Mozilla. If you are using it, it's time to step up to at least 3.6.
