The latest iteration of the browser also features a control center, which can be clicked via a shield icon in the address bar, that contains security and privacy controls for whatever site a user is on. The functionality was quietly launched in beta builds of the browser in September but made it into the final build of Firefox 42, released on Tuesday. The feature, Private Browsing with Tracking Protection, previously available to beta users, blocks third party page elements, such as ads, social network buttons, analytics, and other bits of information that could record a users’ browsing activity and profile users across multiple sites when its loaded by pages.
Again, the only way to be certain that your Chrome session is secure will be using your new shortcut.Mozilla has pushed a feature in Firefox live that allows users to block certain page elements while browsing privately. Name the shortcut (SSL.com suggests giving it a unique name which will remind you that this shortcut is secure) and click “Finish.”. Make sure and separate the switch from the location with a space. "C:Program Files (x86)GoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe" -ssl-version-min=tls1.1 Add the following command line switch -ssl-version-min=tls1.1 after the item location (i.e., after the ending quote) to appear thus:. In the “Create Shortcut” panel, browse to the location of your Chrome installation and select the Chrome icon – the default location is:Ĭ:Program Files (x86)GoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe. Right-click on your desktop and select “New”, then “Shortcut”. This can be implemented by setting up a shortcut as we will show you below, but note that ONLY starting Chrome from this shortcut will prevent use of insecure protocols. Unlike IE and Firefox, Chrome can only be made to use TLS 1.1/1.2 by a command-line switch – an argument added to the string that fires up the browser. Then press the “Relaunch Now” button at the bottom of the page. Under “Minimum SSL/TLS version supported.”, change from “Default” to “TLS 1.1?.
