Seconding CloudFlare's private CA. It's simpler and arguably more secure (less people to talk to, fewer moving parts, and most importantly, no need for backward compatibility), so there's really no excuse.

It's not that, it's the fact that Google asks you almost never if you're using a Google account. That pretty much gives Google-account-havers a fast pass to the Internet, which gives Google even more power that it really shou
