    I am currently encountering a problem with my Webkit browsers (Chrome v31.0.1650.63 and Safari) on my MBP running OS X 10.7.5. The browsers are not able to establish any SSL connections. The Google help forums suggested the following:

    1. Go to Settings in chrome
    2. Click on "Show advanced settings..."
    3. Then under network click "Change proxy settings..." Internet properties dialog box would appear.
    4. Go to "advanced" tab
    5. Scroll until you get "Security"
    6. NOW THIS IS THE IMPORTANT STEP Uncheck the following:
        USE SSL 2.0
        USE SSL 3.0
    
    Check the following
    USE TLS 1.0
    USE TLS 1.1
    USE TLS 1.2
    

    However, when I click Change proxy settings..., I get the Proxies tab for the Network menu in System Preferences. There is no advanced tab anywhere to be found.

    How can I disable SSL 2.0 and 3.0, and enable TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2?

    In IE, this is done by Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced (tab) -> Scroll down to section "Security" -> checkbox: "Warn if adresses in certificates does not match".

    I get that pesky warning for every SSL site im visiting, my internet bank, logging in to gmail, visiting forums based on SSL and such. Every SSL site throws this warning. I just want to get rid of the warning.
