Let 'em do this. When Mozilla and Google drop HTTP support, then it'll be open season for someone to fork/make a new browser with HTTP support, and gain an instant 30% market share. These guys have run amok with major decisions (like the HTTP/2 TLS mandate) because of a lack of competition. These guys can go around thinking they're secure while trusting root CAs like CNNIC whilst ignoring DNSSEC and the like; the rest of us can get back on track with a new, sane browser. While we're at it, we could start treating self-signed certs like we do SSH, rather than as being *infinitely worse* than HTTP (I'm surprised Mozilla doesn't demand a faxed form signed by a notary public to accept a self-signed cert yet. But I shouldn't give them any ideas ...) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
