- robin_reala 4y agoThat’s a different situation. They didn’t have an IE law: they had a specific requirement for secure transactions. At the time the US was banning export of anything over 40-bit, so they had to come up with their own standard: SEED. They produced IE and NN4 plug-ins, but NN4 died off and then inertia kept every site in the country on the national encryption standard that no other browsers supported. (Firefox does attempt to support it, but websites tend to assume IE and ActiveX regardless.) In this case the EU has aligned with an existing industry standard, and has said that they expect the standard to develop over time.
