All the most recent web browsers support TLS:

* Apple's Safari supports TLS, but it’s not officially specified which version.[33] On operating systems (Safari uses the TLS implementation of the underlying OS) like Mac OS X 10.5.8, Mac OS X 10.6.6, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, Safari 5 has been reported to support TLS 1.0.[34]

* Mozilla Firefox, versions 2 and above, support TLS 1.0.[35] As of September 2011[update], Firefox does not support TLS 1.1 or 1.2.[36]

* Microsoft Internet Explorer always uses the TLS implementation of the underlying Microsoft Windows Operating System, a service called SChannel Security Service Provider. Internet Explorer 8 in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 supports TLS 1.2. Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 use the same code (Microsoft Windows Version 6.1 (build 7600)) similar to how Windows Vista SP1 uses the same code as Windows 2008 Server.[37]

* As of Presto 2.2, featured in Opera 10, Opera supports TLS 1.2.[38]

* Google's Chrome browser supports TLS 1.0, but not TLS 1.1 or 1.2.[39]

So if You want TLS 1.1 & the more advanced 1.2 You must change to IE 8 on Win 7 or to Opera 10.

For the pages that support it - TLS 1.1 or better can at least be activated in these two browsers. Some other browsers that can use the TLS of the underlying OS can also use them.

But most web servers are Unix based & these have the OpenSSL usually tied in as default lib.

Since OpenSSL only supports TLS 1.0. It does not lead to much improvement on most sites even for these browsers. :)

[quote="German Wikipedia sub voce TLS"]
Die Weiterentwicklungen TLS 1.1 und 1.2 werden von keinem aktuellen Browser in der Standardkonfiguration unterstützt (kann im Internet Explorer und Opera aktiviert werden), und ist auf Servern so gut wie nirgends verfügbar, da es von der im Unix-Serverbereich als Quasi-Standard eingebundenen OpenSSL-Bibliothek nicht unterstützt wird.
