Question Kindle 3 (keyboard) 3G B006, https broken, alternative to experimental browser?

Most https-sites will not load ("your kindle is unable to load the requested page") or give a "invalid certificate" warning. From what I understand most sites updated from TSL 1.0/1.1 but the experimental browser did not (source).

I've read a couple of threads on this forum about wikipedia no longer working on the K3, but I can't see that there is a fix or a workaround. Therefor I ask now:

1. Is there a fix? Does anyone know if there will be a new firmware upgrade that fixes it, or a downgrade?
2. Is there a work-around? I've found out that using google web lights as a proxy get me to wikipedia, but it is slow and clunky.
3. Is there an alternative? If I jailbreak my Kindle, is it possible to install an alternative browser with TSL 1.2 support? Does such a browser exist yet for the Kindle 3?


My apologies if I've posted this in the wrong sub-forum.
