I maintain several web sites on IX Hosting. Today I received this message from them about Google Chrome.

I don’t plan to purchase a certificate for any of my sites. None of them collect money. I wonder how pervasive this will become? _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list Posting address: [email protected] Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/> Answers to questions: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup/>
