An anonymous reader quotes ZDNet:With this week's monthly Patch Tuesday, Microsoft has also rolled out a new policy for Edge and Internet Explorer that prevents sites that use a SHA-1-signed HTTPS certificate from loading.

Apple dropped support for SHA-1 in March with macOS Sierra 10.12.4 and iOS 10.3...
