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

1. Provide webdesigners a unified way to tell the user that they need a newer browser to use this website in all its beauty.
2. Improve the security, comfort and overall experiance of users by convincing them to update
3. 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

##More features

• Translated into >30 languages
• Giving users reasons why an up-to-date browser is important
• Only showing browsers that are available for the users operating system.
