- supergreg 10y agoBrowser makers don't need to get a certification to use HTTPS.
- fixermark 10y agoNo, but they do need to get a signed chain-of-trust certificate rooted to a certificate authority recognized by their clients' user agents. They also need a well-defined domain name that was registered through some domain-name registrar, somewhere. The notion that some parts of the web standard are pay-to-play is actually not new.
