  > I don't want a web where every time a user visits a new domain they see a scary interstitial warning that asks them to make a trust decision. I don't want it either as it easily trains users to click though it. User goes to new website: "Oh yeah I have to click allow <CLICK>"... User returns to site but its now being MITM'ed: "Oh I thought I had clicked allow. <CLICK>"... Even if the warning is something like "the public key for this site has changed, do you wish to continue?" The gen public will click continue. The problem is not designing a system us on hacker news can use, understand and keep us secure but its building a system that "non-technical" (Throw in generalisation about parents/grandparents not understanding the interwebs here...) minded people can use, understand and be kept secured.
