Google and Mozilla are ready for Chrome and Firefox version 100 to break some websites

 Google and Mozilla engineers have already planned for Chrome and Firefox version 100 to break some web sites, with both companies saying that it's time to clean up the mess that's been made. Chrome 89, which ships in early March, will remove support for the "window.showModalDialog" DOM API, which is an ancient piece of code from 1998 that conflicts with Web standards and exists only for compatibility with Microsoft's aging Internet Explorer browser. 

The next time you see a badly broken website, you might just have to send an angry email to its webmaster. With the release of Chrome 100 and Firefox 93 on Tuesday, Google and Mozilla are removing features from their browsers that some websites still use to hide text from visitors. This means when those sites haven’t updated their code, they will show the “hidden” content — usually because the site ignored their visitor's requests for a more accessible design.

Looks like Chrome and Firefox are just around a major update, as the two browser slowly approach their 100th iteration. It’s at this milestone that even the smallest change in the JavaScript engines could cause issues for one of the many web sites out there employing older JavaScript features. The two dominant Web browsers, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, are both on track to roll out new versions that change the way people use the Internet on January 10, 2021.

Google and Mozilla are working to fix sites that break when moved from TLS 1.0 or 1.1 to TLS 1.2. Even though it's been six years since Firefox and Chrome switched to using TLS v1.2 by default, there are some websites that will stop working if you move from TLS 1,0 or 1.1.  Chrome 67 launched on Monday and Firefox 60 followed Tuesday morning. Both browsers updated their HTTP warnings to discourage users from entering passwords and credit card details on websites that haven't switched to HTTPS. A future version of Chrome will block all HTTP pages.
