This is the part that really gets me. For an average user, they trust the certificate that is bundled with the browser vendor (yes you can do certificate pinning). It just seems like something like certificate for encryption, ought to be split up away from browser vendor rather managed by a open public repo mange by a non-profit. Or have it on a block chain type of ledger. Any thoughts on that HN?
