Not sure if it has changed but when I was using XP, chrome and firefox were still using the SSL and TLS stacks from the OS, which meant no support for SNI. Most webpages would fail to connect at this point. Also BSOD once a month was common, not sure if it had anything to with me running Visualization softwares regularly. However, with Windows 7 I have seen maybe one BSOD crash in the past half a decade.
- mhurron 13y agoFine, you have a problem. But XP lacks nothing for what I use it for. Also, I don't think most sites are using SNI.
- icebraining 13y agoOf course they aren't, they can't, because way too many people still use XP (and a couple of other obsolete OSs, like Android 2.X).
- mwcampbell 13y agoAs far as I know, Firefox has never used SChannel (the Windows native implementation of TLS); it has always used Mozilla's own implementation, NSS. And Chrome has used NSS for a while as well. So SNI support shouldn't be a problem for Firefox or Chrome under XP.
