Putting keys from popular websites would increase centralization: content will be moved to Facebook and the likes to avoid the warning.
This TOFU thing could be useful with self-signed certificates (like those shipped in servers' BMC).
- icebraining 10y agoThis TOFU thing could be useful with self-signed certificates (like those shipped in servers' BMC). But that's how it already works, at least traditionally (how don't know about Chrome): you connect to it, and the browser asks you if you want to make a permanent exception for that cert. Next time, it'll just connect.
- vbernat 10y agoIn Chrome, there is no such thing as a permanent exception. In Firefox, the permanent exception includes unexpected certificate change.
