so far, absolutely no justification for Google to drop P-521: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1129077 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1129077

- throwaway7033 5y agoThe linked Mozilla bug report provides an excellent reason to drop P-521. If you look at the telemetry for last actual Firefox release, only 8 (yes, eight!) out of 1.67 BILLION handshakes used a P-521 curve. This is a good indication that P-521 isn't needed, at least for certificates verified by web browsers.
