- rafaelturk 3y agoI don't know about you, but looks like this will cause some impact.
- berbec 3y agoBy the article's infographic, it's 4.6% of Android users. Anyone not using FireFox Mobile on Android 7.0 or earlier. Some, but not major.
- lesuorac 3y ago3 billion seems like decent number to use for how many Android users there are [1]. 4.5% of 3 billion is 135 million or about 13x more than Google Domains [2] so I guess not major indeed.

- morepork 3y ago6.1%, those using 7.0 and older will be affected. But that number will have fallen a bit by the time the certs actually expire in a year.
- quickthrower2 3y agoI wonder how skewed to poorer countries that is? Also I imagine some skew towards smart tvs (since they outlive older phones, you could easily have a 2013 smart tv still working, I had a 2009 dumb TV until recently and sold it on).
- morepork 3y agoThere's also the possibility that Chrome decides to bundle this CA like Firefox mobile does, which would mean the majority of users won't have a problem. From 5.0 the builtin webview is updatable too - I think it uses Chrome's engine. That leaves other browser's such as Samsung's one which probably has the most usage, no idea if they bundle root CAs or not.
