Well, you have Microsoft and Verisign with vested interests in you not doing
that so good luck.
Basically it's an extorsion racket for end users not to get those (scary)
popup messages that play on their fears of Internet security. Internet
Explorer has come to completely dominate the browser (and I do admit that it
is better than any other option currently available) so the bully on the
block is pretty much entrenched. At least with Tucows entering the picture
on the certs there is (a little) more choice involved but overall the picture
sucks big time.
