@Shahmeerm Yes, pull requests are always welcome.

@GerhardKreuzer When you say it "doesn't work", are you seeing a 301 error with the error message "An exception was thrown while trying to load the page: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel."?

If so, I have a fix for that.

I'm adding more detail here for posterity.

SSL is dying and being replaced by TLS. First, browsers stopped supporting SSL. Now, web servers are disabling SSL. The root cause of this issue was github.com no longer supports SSL. SimpleBrowser uses .NET Framework, which uses SSL by default. Since github wanted to use TLS and SimpleBrowser wanted to use SSL, they couldn't talk to each other.

I updated SimpleBrowser to use TLS by default (like Chrome). I also added the ability for the SimpleBrowser to change the default.
