So "you can use these images freely, but you have to first acquire them through our API, which you may not use quite freely," or am I missing something? This doesn't seem to make much sense.

I agree that there's a very slim chance, realistically, of this being exploited. But StartSSL doesn't have to be hacked for a user to be MITM'ed and served malicious JS. Especially given that their site (at least the homepage

Unless malicious JS is served in place of the <keygen> element, which would be largely undetectable to the user.

It is, however, ridiculous that DigitalOcean (a quite popular VPS provider) advises innocent webmasters to generate it in the browser with no mention of how insecure this is. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutor

StartSSL is 0 USD/year. There should be more providers like them, and if the barriers to entry ($$$$) weren't so insurmountable, I'd happily start one myself. But they do a good job, and I've used several free certs from
