What I take out of this, beside things I knew of already (and most others as well) is:
* Chrome wants to FORCE you to buy an SSL certificate.
* The guy suggest getting one from StartSSL BUT those are crap for 2 reasons: you can only have ONE domain, else you have to pay. The TOS are horrible.
So, dear imperialviolet, if you want me to use certificates that your company trusts (and by extension, your users), get up with it and make Google provide free, unlimited SSL certificates.
Til then, no dice.
- spindritf 14y ago> you can only have ONE domain, else you have to pay It's one name per certificate (well, two: yourdomain.com and whatever.yourdomain.com) but you can order multiple certificates for multiple subdomains in the same or different domains at no charge.
- jaggederest 14y agoIf you can't afford the $43/year for a Thawte starter cert, you have no business running a domain of your own. Seriously, less than $4 a month - that's going to be dwarfed by any sort of hosting you might be paying for. And it's only one domain per cert, so your entire argument is silly.
- zokier 14y agoDwarfed by hosting costs? There is tons of shared hosting options in the $50/year range which are quite usable for lots of purposes.

- dinkumthinkum 14y agoYou know it's not Google that makes you buy SSL certs for security, right? As far as "no dice" ... um check out some tutorials on SSL ...
- webjunkie 14y agoDo StartSSL certificates even work on every browser by default?
- icebraining 14y agoYes. They offer a list on the bottom of the page: http://www.startssl.com/?app=40 http://www.startssl.com/?app=40
