Apple, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla leave TLS 1.0, 1.1

Η Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),The Google, Microsoft and Mozilla announced today that they will stop supporting TLS 1.0 and 1.1 (Transport Layer Security) protocols in their respective browsers in the first half of 2020.

"January 19 next year marks the 20th anniversary of TLS 1.0, the launch of a protocol that encrypts and validates secure connections across the web," said Kyle Pflug, CEO of Microsoft Edge Development.TLS

"Two decades is a long time to stay safe. Although we are not aware of any significant weaknesses in the current versions of TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1, upgrading to newer versions helps of a safer web for everyone".

All four browsers - Chrome, Edge, IE, Firefox and Safari - already support TLS 1.2 and will soon support the Fina-approved version of TLS 1.3. Chrome and Firefox already support TLS 1.3, while Apple and Microsoft are still preparing for support.

Microsoft has published statistics from SSL Labs showing that 94% of Internet pages have already been moved to TLS 1.2, leaving very few websites to use older versions.

"Less than one percent of daily connections to Microsoft Edge use TLS 1.0 or 1.1," Pflug announced.

Of course the Windows users and system administrators can test the effects of disabling TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 and prepare their devices and networks before change.

From the Windows control panel find “Options .” In the “Advanced” tab uncheck the “Use TLS 1.0” and “Use TLS 1.1” options in the Security section.
