I'm sort of confused, because TLS 1.1/1.2 support across browsers looks to be quite poor at the moment. Especially when given a large number of IE visitors that will likely upgrade to IE11 (first version that will have TLS 1.1/1.2 enabled by default) sometime around the year 2016.

With that said, I was under the impression that sites will need to support TLS 1.0 for a good long while, and if that is indeed the case, would they not be better off using RC4? From my understanding, the RC4 attacks seemed less practical than attacks against the implementation of CBC mode in SSL 3.0 / TLS 1.0?
