A good move. Well done for pushing the world towards a safer internet.
Quick question though. There was no mention of the type of certs used. Will plain certs be worth less than EV certs?
Hopefully Matt or any other Google search representative here can comment.
- Nilzor 12y agoNewb question: Is plain cert locally generated certificates (free), while EV certs are those you pay for from a "trusted authority"?
- tokenizerrr 12y agoNo. A plain cert is one you normally buy, an EV cert stands for Extended Validation which only specific CAs can give out and there's extra guidelines for that, plus they're generally much more expensive. Browsers generally show the identity of the certificate in the URL bar when they are EV, which they otherwise do not.
