It basically says that a browser built in 2007 will not be acceptable to nearly all web sites, because it will not be compatible with the requirement to use https with a TLS version of at least 1.2, that the vast majority of the web has bought into. The site will redirect any http access to https, and the TLS handshake will fail, because he will be offering at most TLS 1.1, and they will only accept, at least, TLS 1.2. > > > Are you perhaps under some kind of delusion that everyone has - and is > able to use - a "modern" Web browser that Google won't simply reject > connections from out of hand? The OP is using a Mac machine, so will certainly be capable of using a GUI, and they also have said they can access the sites, presumably with a different browser, and maybe using a different platform, so I think is safe to assume they could use Google.
