Did you not miss the part where I referred to my 'localized' version of Firefox or Chrome (i.e. US English)? For example: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

Did you not miss the part where I referred to my 'localized' version of Firefox or Chrome (i.e. US English)? For example: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/
Again, I cannot read Mandarin or Turkish, and likely never ever will. It seems to me that it'd be much more likely that a site, even if run by Chinese or Turks, caters to American customers, should invest in a certificate trusted by a US CA, and similarly for every market they expect to do business in.
And likewise, I don't know why localized versions of browsers for the Chinese market would include trusted certs from Turkey or Brazil.
Seems like its a lot easier to force multinational companies, who already are going to have to invest in huge amounts of research and technology to deal with foreign taxes, currencies, bank accounts, etc., to add to their burden the responsibility for obtaining certs from their customers' local CAs, instead of having every single CA on Earth be trusted by all releases of browsers.
