Troubleshooting website display or functionality issues in Edge on Windows 10
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
Hi There
I have the following problem, while accessing a website from a partner
Error Message:
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH
Unsupported protocol
The client and server don't support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite.
Google Chrome lets me open the page, but tells me: "Your connection to this site is not fully secure".
I know, that the website uses an "outdated" security configuration. But this partner may not so fastly change that. Is there a possibility to tell Edge kind a list of websites, where he can ignore that? To disable this feature completely is not a solution in my opinion. (to manage a "whitelist also not, but it is the smaller pain)
Other suggestion? (other Browser is also no opinion and with Internet Explorer 11 it does not work :-( )
Kind Regards
David

Forgive me if someone else already provided this solution -- there's 7 or more pages here, I don't want to go read them all :-)
In MS Edge (and Chrome), you can use the "add-on" of "IE Tab" by Blackfish
https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/ie-tab/npjkkakdacjaihjaoeliacmecofghaghIt has worked for me for all the very old device webpages we use that won't work with modern browsers.
My old devices' web pages used to work with Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) back in 2022, but no longer do - I'm not sure why, but it might be from TLS group policies I had to implement, although I manually overrode those in IE yesterday and I still couldn't get to my old devices.
https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/ie-tab/npjkkakdacjaihjaoeliacmecofghaghItIE Tab used to be a free add-on, and for the PCs where I installed it in the past, say, 6 months, we've not seen popups asking for payment. However, I did a new install on a laptop yesterday so I could do some admin stuff on an old device, and IE Tab said it is for a trial period.
Other people have suggested to go to archives and get very old versions of Chrome from, say, year 2016, which will likely work for you as well. However, you'll probably need to get these off a 3rd-party archival site, which could be a little risky in that the executable could include a virus. Myself, I tend to retain downloads for this very reason, so I have old installs from various years for Firefox, Chrome, etc. and various server applications. I know a lot of admins keep an old Windows XP laptop or VM around and do not update old software packages on it, for this very reason.
Some higher-level admin will argue, "it's your own fault for getting into this situation, you should have regularly upgraded your software/firmware, dummy!" But, small companies often let support contracts lapse (to save money) and then are not entitled to further updates, or a OEM goes out of business yet you still rely on the old software/hardware, well beyond end-of-life. ...Some IT people need to learn a little empathy, not everyone has a large IT budget, with numerous IT pros on staff who've been with the company for many years, and have well-documented equipment & procedures from prior IT people who've left long ago.
I was able to get this to work in Firefox by clicking the "Advanced" button and adding the exception

You can use firefox Firefox: about:config "tls" > security.tls.version.min=1. Reset to 3 after completion.
