I am not sure about IE, I believe Firefox has it disabled by default. FWIW I wouldn't consider this a huge failure, if anything I'd expect over time people to use ping where it's supported and fallback where it's not, resulting in the same privacy tradeoff for users of all browsers but better performance for some browsers than others, which will eventually lead to a predictable outcome... Are there any websites that use it, at least in the browsers that support it? Relative lack of web developer adoption so far makes it seem like a bad bet to make more features that do the same thing, unless we're confident that we know what was wrong with <a ping> in the first place. - Maciej
