1. Internet Explorer 6 don’t have a new tab function.

2. Internet Explorer 6 can not display images in PNG format. PNG format images are the transparent images. By default, you IE 6 will not display trasparent images unless the designer/developer will add some JavaScript or some special code to make it transparent.

3. Internet Explorer 6 doesn’t render the website similar to other modern browsers. Internet Explorer 6 is the greatest problem when it comes to cross browsers compatibility.
