The article makes pretty compelling points that almost no one finds EV certs useful. Maybe you do. Maybe you think you do. I dunno. But, regardless, unless the article is wrong, you are in a tiny minority. Removing special handling of EV certificates reduces pressure on people to buy these certs based on false promises being made about them being generally useful - and that's a good thing.

The problem with Symantec having horrific security was that Google handled it wrong? This was Symantec's issue. I also don't like that when I google "Do I have to pay my parking tickets" the answer is yes - but that isn't Google's fault either.

- dagenix 8y ago1) Read the article. 2) What evidence do you have that they have done "no research"? Is it no evidence? You provided no evidence, so, that's what I'm left believing. (NOTE: typing things on your keyboard and posting them to the internet _does not_ count as evidence)
