boincstats + Chrome 49 (last for XP) + Windows XP SP3
When I access this website: ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH
Firefox 52.1.1 esr in XP work ok. Use TLS1.2, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 0xc02b
Chrome 49 for W7 work ok. Use TLS1.2, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 0xc02b
Chrome 49 for XP not work with boincstats.com. Chrome 49 for XP offers TLS1.2 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 0xc02f, but does not offer TLS1.2 TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 0xc02b.

Chrome is my favorite browser for speed and I know that for webs that do not work like this, Firefox can be an alternative.
This leaves out all XP users with Chrome 49.
Why does boincstats.com not support TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 0xc02f if it is also encrypted TLS1.2?

It seems to be due to the root trust certificate of boincstats that is not appropriate. It does not support XP.
As a suggestion, I invite you to change the certificate to allow XP users without lowering security, as do all web pages of banks that support XP users with the highest security.
