   Yes.  Older browsers are fast being lost in the dust:   
   My results on an older browser:   
      
    |Unable to load page   
    |Problem occurred while loading the URL https://wikipedia.org/   
    |SSL handshake failed: A TLS fatal alert has been received.

   Websites are moving to higher and higher TLS security levels.
