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.

My fundamental simple question on the subject: given that it's so easy
(and cheap, i.e., free) for me to provide secure shell access to my
clients, how can I do the same for HTTP connections, without having to
pay money to a third party that neither of us particularly cares about?
