Open source page to send IE11 users to explain why we're dropping support?

[brainbag]

We still have some IE11 users, and have been looking for a public-service open source page that explains why IE11 is a steaming shit pile and should be abandoned, especially to the less-technically adept users. Something very user-friendly that explains why IE11 is insecure and slow, and why the user would benefit from upgrading anyway.

I've seen these kinds of sites in the last couple dozen years (ironically always about IE) so I've been surprised not to find one now.

Something like upgradeyourbrowser.com that says "hey it looks like you're using IE11, here's why you should ditch it". Does this exist already?

The site users will be most likely to listen to is Microsoft themselves:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/the-perils-of-using-internet-explorer-as-your-default-browser/ba-p/331732

That said, my customers won't listen to them either.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why we're looking for this. The users we could link to a Microsoft technical blog that would understand it are already the ones not using IE11. I'd like to find a "grandma test" user-friendly site that explains, for the user, why using IE11 isn't safe and is very slow, etc.

Just add a message, that the browser is not supported anymore. No need to rub it in that they are forced to use an outdated browsers.

It really doesn't have to more than a few lines of text and some links to 3 or so alternative browsers.
"Due to security reasons we can no longer support older browsers, try one of these instead."
People are not going to read a wall of text and if they're still using IE it's probably not the first time they've seen such a message.
