Enable TLS 1.3 on Firefox and Chrome

Below we will see how you can enable TLS 1.3 (Security Layer Security) support in Firefox and its Chrome .

Transport Layer Security, or TLS for short, is an encryption protocol that you use for secure communication between . The current version of TLS is 1,2 while TLS 1,3 is currently available as a draft.

TLS 1.3 builds on TLS 1.2 but offers significant security and privacy protections over TLS 1.2 supported by thethe default web browsers.TLS 1.3

Let's see how we can enable TLS 1.3 support in Firefox and Chrome

Both Firefox and Chrome support TLS 1.3, but the new Transport Layer Security version is not enabled by default. The main reason for this, most likely, is that it is still available only as a draft (or imagine something like a beta)

One of the first things to do is look at which TLS and SSL protocols support our browser.

Αυτό μπορούμε να το κάνουμε εύκολα με μια επίσκεψη στο SSL και από εκεί στη My Client page which controls the features of your browser.

The page will show you all the protocols supported by your browser, check if it is vulnerable to some known attacks, lists the supported encryption suites, protocol details, and how the mixed content manages the browser.

If you open the page with Chrome or Firefox you will see a "no" next to TLS 1.3

The will open Firefox configuration.
