- fredrik-j 11y agoIt is of course good to be aware, but legacy Android versions shouldn't be a show stopper for modern TLS. For general web browsing, I'd expect that both Chrome and Firefox are installable on Android 2.3 and bundle their own TLS libraries. Other app developers can also vendor TLS libraries, like Bouncy Castle, to support modern encryption on legacy devices.
- hsivonen 11y agoChrome for Android 42 and older requires Android 4.0 or newer. Current versions require 4.1 or newer. What you say about Firefox is accurate, though.
