- tialaramex 8y agoYes, three of the browsers are commercial products (albeit at zero dollar price), Google's Chrome, Apple's Safari, Microsoft's IE/ Edge, so it's ultimately a commercial decision for those companies. The Mozilla Foundation on the other hand takes these decisions in public, m.d.s.policy is the newsgroup for security policy decisions, which ultimately mostly means stuff about SSL/TLS and these certificates.
