does anyone want to elaborate on this?

Does anyone see this as a threat to using paypal for stealth?

I always keep my browsers up to date anyway.
Never had any issues in the past. Don't see why it would be an issue now.

Not the slightest. Basically if you're still using browsers built from >10 years ago and hasn't updated it since, you're going to have a lot of problems browsing the internet.

Nothing new a lot of websites do this, just keep your browsers up to date

I had to update my portable browser in order to access auth.net and the WF website a few weeks ago.

Now I know it's because of a forced TLS upgrade. Thanks for the link. I've been wondering why payment sites were being so pushy. Browsers have to be updated because old ones don't support the new standard.

I don't see it being a threat, but it could be. Who knows what kind of extra data the new TLS protocol will send..

Jesus, have many many Chrome portable accounts where they refuse to update, always some BS error. Will take me days to go through them and reinstall. Firefox was also giving me problems, but now there is a drop down box offering me to update

Although, many of the old chromes refused to work anyway, so probably no biggie

is there a cookie addon working with updated firefox? if not yet, then we are screwed.

This doesn't apply to 99% of us. Most people update their browsers anyway, and even if you aren't running the very latest, it's unlikely it will be from years ago.

I know that you can import cookies and history now with standard browsers but as far as I know they don't have an automatic option for that portable browsers like that

I really don't see an issue with keeping the browser updated

Its nothing to worry about
