You can manually distrust hardcoded CAs in all common browsers. But even now, this is rarely used because it is tedious, there are roughly a hundred active CAs.

You can manually distrust hardcoded CAs in all common browsers. But even now, this is rarely used because it is tedious, there are roughly a hundred active CAs.
And depending on how that law will be interpreted by courts, manually distrusting might be considered illegal.
- Jensson 3y ago> manually distrusting might be considered illegal It is just a display change, all the law says is: "For those purposes web-browsers shall ensure that the identity data provided using any of the methods is displayed in a user friendly manner." I don't see how adding a warning icon or block icon instead of the lock hurts would be banned. To me it seems like so much here is based on baseless assumptions.
- g-b-r 3y agoto me at this point it seems like you're trying to defend this law a-priori...
- isilofi 3y agoNo, manually distrusting will probably be considered illegal. "Browsers shall ensure", no exceptions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38109691 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38109691 I would also urge you to refrain from using terminology such as "baseless assumptions" when your own assumptions are so easily refuted by directly reading the text of the proposal.
