My organization, a significant government agency, just told people to stop
using Chrome and Firefox (and to use Internet Explorer) for major internal
applications because of their mutual decision to drop TLS version
negotiation support for 1.0.

I channeled my passion in the direction of my IT group, explained the
security issue, and the issue is being resolved. They're fixing their
servers. It helps that "use IE" is a less viable strategy than it used to
be, and that Firefox is not -- as you've implied many times in this thread
-- taking this action alone.

Spend your energy more usefully than this thread.
