This software displays the current SSL/TLS cipher and keysize in the status bar for easy viewing.
CipherFox is a fantastic Firefox extension that provides users with crucial information about the SSL/TLS cipher and keysize currently in use. With its easy-to-access display located in the Firefox status bar, CipherFox is a great tool for monitoring your online security. Not only does it keep you informed, but CipherFox also provides an option for disabling RC4 encryption via the options panel.
Once RC4 encryption has been disabled, the next available cipher is automatically utilized. In most cases, this will be either AES (e.g. Gmail) or Triple-DES (e.g. Newegg). If users need to re-enable RC4 encryption, a simple and convenient "Enable RC4" option is added to the Tools menu. This means that it is simple to effectively toggle CipherFox on and off as needed, without having to go through a complicated process.
Overall, CipherFox is an outstanding extension that greatly enhances Firefox's online security capabilities. Its informative display and easy-to-use options make for a great user experience, and the peace of mind that comes with using this security tool is invaluable.
