If I don't have the ability to control which CAs I trust, things become useless fast. This is why I fully ditched chomeOS.

Google: wants to push their browser based DRM, to which they would inevitably be the ultimate controller of, in the name of "safety".

Also Google: intentionally kneecaps the existing certificate system which is the main safety system of the web.

Gee, I wonder if the two are connected.

Honestly the entire certificate system is a fraud. You can see just how vulnerable it is with the recent Microsoft vulnerability

I'm ootl on this one - what happened?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Microsoft has been signing stuff that is being used maliciously.

Plus they have has their keys stolen to create malicious stuff...

I was referring to the latter

Never said it wasn't flawed.

But Google itself is flawed. Their search results have been a joke for years now, top results are almost always malware now, no matter what you search for.
