I am using the latest version of Chrome and when I open the following website https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html (This website is used to evaluate Protocol Support, Logjam Vulnerability, FREAK Vulnerability, POODLE Vulnerability, Protocol Features etc)

I want to test if my browser is compatible enough to open secured websites by visiting the above link but it shows me a warning that my browser does not support TLS 1.2 and that I need to upgrade.

But my browser is up to date.

Any ideas why this might be happening.

Thanks in advance.

Chrome [prior to version 29] doesn't support TLS 1.2, only Internet Explorer does so. Chrome supports 1.1 and Firefox and Safari support 1.0. IETF considers 1.1 as well as 1.0 to be obsolete, but regardless, this is the case.

  • Ok, that makes sense now. Thanks a lot. But I am not able to open up a secured website that has TLS 1.1 enabled on server side. Since Chrome has that protocol supported shouldn't it be able to open that website at least. I mean is there some other reason this might be happening.

  • I'm going to have to withdraw my earlier answer, since apparently TLS v1.2 IS supported by all major browsers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#Web_browsers So the issue lies somewhere else.

  • You could try to see through the Chrome settings and see if it's just disabled. Quick note, do you happen to use BitDefender?

  • Chrome does support TLS 1.2 The article is quite old and I actually managed to set it up. The website does open now.
