Well, this block also affects people who have old management hardware
around using such ciphers that are for example no longer supported. In my
case for example the old Dell DRAC's. And it seems there is no way to
disable this block.
Ok, it is good to think about security, but not giving you any chance to
make exceptions is simply forcing users to use another browser in order to
manage those devices, or to keep an old machine around that not gets
updated.
