I largely disable SSH and use TLS only with full range of versions listed. Some websites don’t like that setting.

SSH is still not very secure and and there is no “fix”, but for that matter TLS is only slightly more secure.

Something better must be in the pipeline. But I haven’t seen it.

You're thinking of "SSL", not "SSH". SSL was the forerunner to TLS, and what you said about that is all correct.

SSH is "Secure Shell", a login protocol that gives you a Bash (or similar) commandline on a (typically remote) server.
