And that they're using chrome browser to make certs a mandatory and increasingly expensive monthly subscription service for site owners even though for many sites that don't handle secure transactions it really shouldn't be a requirement.
In 2026 only rich companies will be able to maintain sites with the way we're going folks.
- charcircuit 5y agoCerts are free. What do you mean monthly subscription? Also why would secure transactions be necessary? Preventing third parties from injecting ads / mining scripts / phishing logins benefits all sites.
