StartCom 凉透了

Dear customer,

As you are surely aware, the browser makers distrusted StartCom around a year ago and therefore all the end entity certificates newly issued by StartCom are not trusted by default in browsers.

The browsers imposed some conditions in order for the certificates to be re-accepted. While StartCom believes that these conditions have been met, it appears there are still certain difficulties forthcoming. Considering this situation, the owners of StartCom have decided to terminate the company as a Certification Authority as mentioned in Startcom´s website.

StartCom will stop issuing new certificates starting from January 1st, 2018 and will provide only CRL and OCSP services for two more years.

StartCom would like to thank you for your support during this difficult time.

StartCom is contacting some other CAs to provide you with the certificates needed. In case you don´t want us to provide you an alternative, please, contact us at [e-mail]

Please let us know if you need any further assistance with the transition process. We deeply apologize for any inconveniences that this may cause.

Best regards,

StartCom Certification Authority

大概意思就是，我们尽力了，但是谷歌等浏览器还是刁难我们，有需要请找另一个公司，拜~

如果市场垄断了会很可怕的，
浏览器是用户自己安装的，fork 出来的，用户就会安装吗？ 10 年前的 IE，一些用户们仍然在使用。

@oonnnoo 看看 360 和百度管家在中国的占有率就知道 Chrome 垄断会产生多么小的影响了。
浏览器是用户自己安装的，那他们直接去下载第三方浏览器就得了。
「别的浏览器无法访问的网站，我们浏览器能访问」，打出这种旗号，用户会蛋疼跑去下载垄断浏览器吗。
你一定要说 10 年前的 IE 的话，10 年前的 IE 才不会搞出这种不让 HTTP 什么的幺蛾子。

@msg7086 您这话说的，当年 IE 的幺蛾子还少吗，安全性极差，对开放标准支持差，各种微软自己搞的一套私有标准，这些都忘了。真是好了伤疤忘了疼

@Technetiumer
我想说，作为 CA，最重要的就是信任，如果他不再值得信任，那么再多的贡献也没有用，但是他们做出的贡献，仍然值得铭记

Startcom 真的关门了，还是觉得挺伤感，最早折腾 SSL 证书的时候用的就是 Startcom 的免费 SSL。

一句话 你做过好事 不是你可以做坏事的理由

[msg7086]

@inspiron530s 所以 10 年前的 IE 会穿越到未来然后改变 HTTP 的访问方式吗？
所以现在用户都被绑在 IE 上而不去用第三方的浏览器吗？

@PP 被收购了它干什么事就不是自己能够控制的了，
如果日本人占领成功了，要求学日语废弃中文，你控制不了你的语言。
