Try putting StartPage HTTPS search engine in SM search engines list. Then search from the Search Bar using StartPage HTTPS engine. With Opera, there is no drama about "terrifying" you regarding possible risks. Opera simply pops up a window that says "you asked to be notified when a site uses an untrusted cert. Do you wish to continue" and it shows me the GoDaddy cert. Simple and easy to deal with. SM and Fx used to be this way. There is no reason to mollycoddle ignorant of computers users at the expense of those of us who took the time and effort to learn something about computers and essential computer security before using them. Older versions of SM and Fx don't have this problem I am seeing and they don't force me to jump through a bunch of hoops in order to control certs. Plus, with Amazon, and a few other sites, the sites are not usable on SM or Fx if you need to login because of this bug. I can't log into Amazon with GoDaddy certs disabled. >> want my browsers to notify me each time a GoDaddy cert is used and then I > > take a look at the CertPatrol addin I think I looked at that once and rejected it, but I will look again as it could have been some other similar extension.
