## Past removals
## NSS
We remove support for building curl with the NSS TLS library in August 2022.
- There are very few users left who use curl+NSS
- NSS has very few users outside of curl as well (primarily Firefox)
- NSS is harder than ever to find documentation for
- NSS was always "best" used with Red Hat Linux when they provided additional
features on top of the regular NSS that isn't shipped by the vanilla library
Starting in 7.82.0, building curl to use NSS configure requires the additional
flag --with-nss-deprecated in an attempt to highlight these plans.
