Weekend of confusion for Canadians as ‘Heartbleed’ bug forces government website shutdownsI really don't get this thing. This bug has been out on the Internet for 2.5 years and suddenly,only now there is notification and approaching panic.
Now I have used Google Chrome since it came out and have always used Google search too. During a search a sign came up saying that SSL had been switched off. Assuming that it should be on,I tried to figure out how to get it back on. I cleaned,scanned and swore, a lot!
Then I downloaded Firefox and Opera. A search on Firefox gave a flash notice and then I saw that I was still on Google search. Opera was fine but I could not get the transfer to blog add on to work. So back to Firefox. I changed the search to duckduckgo and have had no hassles. I went back to Chrome and changed the search to i search,avg and again,no problems. Now it could have been fixed in the two days that I was swearing but my question is....why was it not fixed years ago???
