Like the TSA at the airport.
Security that we never needed before, but now suddenly we do.
Now we’re dependent on a third party gatekeeper for permission to have a web site.
Free, for now.
It’s a move by the weasels-that-be to turn the Internet into yet another tool for profit and control.
Your problem seems to be with cert authorities, which is not the same as HTTPS.
I’d be interested in what your solution is that doesn’t rely upon a 3rd party to guarantee that a website is ran by who it says it is.
Also if you’re complaining that browsers warn the user when using http, that’s a complaint about the browser, not HTTPS.
