Mozilla, Google and Microsoft have agreed to remove support for the RC4 cipher in Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge in early 2016.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in RC4 in recent time which led to recommendations to avoid use of the cipher at all costs by companies such as Mozilla or Microsoft.

All three companies plan to remove RC4 support from their web browsers in early 2016 and have made an announcement in that regard publicly.
