As I understand, as Windows XP support was officially dropped, the newest versions of SSL certificates used in certain websites cannot be accessed by Chrome and IE on WinXP due to incompatibility. However, Firefox apparently still does support Windows XP and can access those websites freely.

I don't quite understand how the SSL certificates compatibility works, how is it possible that on Chrome and IE it requires you to switch to a new OS altogether but that's not needed when just using a different browser? Why can't a simple community developer just create a 'patch' for Chrome and IE if Firefox can support them? What's the connection between the browser and the OS? Where do I draw the line? 1001 arabian night games.
Windows Xp Compatible Sites For Windows 10
Chrome browser for windows xp 32 bit, see also any related to chrome browser for windows xp 32 bit, from chromereview.net on September 2019 google chrome download chrome browser for windows xp 32 bit. Sep 03, 2018 hardware compatibility with windows xp i've tried to install an external hard drive and a usb flash drive, but windows strongly says i should stop installation because products have not passed windows logo testing. Is it safe to go ahead and install because both products state they are compatible with windows xp or should i not? UC browser maybe widely known for their mobile version browsers but it also has a great PC offering and the best part is their latest version is fully compatible with Windows XP. Security is not something UC takes lightly which is why they are always adding new security features with each upgrade. SeaMonkey As of now, version 2.46 supports Windows XP, however version 2.49 will be the last version to support Windows XP. Probably my third choice after Avant. Probably my third choice after Avant. Qupzilla 2.0.1 It's latest version does still work with XP, despite not officially having compatibility. The XP compatibility tools are buggy, at best. And I have already run across several users who were unpleasantly surprised by this fact during the operating system installation, and afterwards, with BSOD's while attempting to keep the OS up-and-running.

UTorrent is a freeware BitTorrent client currently for Microsoft Windows only. The entire program is a single 576 KiB executable (as of January 2007). It was designed to use as little of a computer's resources as possible while offering equivalent functionality of heavily featured clients, such as Azureus or BitComet.

OK, so looking at the example of mpql.net, we start with the SSL Labs analysis.
The problem appears to be that the server only supports elliptic curve cryptography (the various TLS_ECDHE_xxx suites) and, according to the MSDN articles Secure Sockets Layer Protocol and TLS Cipher Suites, Windows XP doesn't include any of the elliptic curve protocols. This is not related to the certificates per se, but to the way the web server is configured.
Firefox still works because it uses its own cryptographic library rather than using the SSL support built into Windows. Of course, if you were using a version of Firefox as old as Windows XP is, it probably wouldn't work either. Microsoft bitmap downloads windows 10. :-)

Chrome and IE use the CA store of windows while Firefox uses it's own independent store.

It might be that some developer can do it, but why should somebody invest its time to support an OS which is dead and insecure just to support browsers which are no longer supported (Chrome will drop support end of 2015). If you feel this needs to be done anyway just do it. Otherwise, drop XP or at least use Firefox with it.

Solution for this problem in XP is installing KB3055973-v3 that adds support for TLS 128-bit & 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher suites.Google for this solution and beware it is natively for English OS version, otherwise you need to modify the installation files.

Although I cant say im 100% correct I believe ssl has everything to do with the browser and not much to do with the actual operating system. So I ran into an issue where the very opposite from what you are asking. A client was on a windows 7 machine and needed to access time warner business email through chrome but couldn't because of a SSL issue. The problem was that Chrome dropped support for the older version of SSL and so her options where use IE or Firefox or downgrade and hope chrome doesn't force its self to update. Microsoft is wanting users to upgrade so of course they are not going to keep IE up to date and google isn't going to support an outdated operating system. Firefox is open source so it makes sense that people would keep the browser compatible with as many devices as possible. Hope this helps.

Internet Explorer Cannot Connect to Secure Web SitesBy: Arie Slob
Quite a number of people have been reporting problems connecting to Secure Web sites (the ones that start with https:// ). There are a number of possible causes, which in turn have a number of suggested fixes.
You can test your ability to connect to SSL sites using this SSL test site.
Check Firewall/Network Configuration![]()
Make sure that the SSL port (port 443) is open on your network/firewall (if you have any). There are many different Firewall/Network products, so we can't give set-by-step instructions. Check the documentation or help file of the product you use.
Verify that Internet Explorer Is Using 128-Bit Encryption
To check:
If the Cipher Strength is anything less then 128-bit, download the Internet Explorer High Encryption Pack to your computer's hard disk, and then install it.
Delete Temporary Internet Files
There's also a possibility of some corrupted files in your Temporary Internet Files (TIF) storage. To clear these:
Computers With Windows Xp ProConfigure Internet Explorer Security, Content, and Advanced Settings
Configure Security settings for the Trusted sites zone in Internet Explorer:
Clear the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) slate and AutoComplete history:
Verify that Internet Explorer is configured to use SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0:
Verify that the Date and Time Settings on Your Computer Are Correct
Because SSL certificates have an expiry date, if the date on your computer isn't correct, it may prevent you from connecting to secure sites. To verify that your computer is configured with the correct date and time settings:
