This may be of interest to some people. This morning I started getting a NET::ERR_CERTIFICATE_TRANSPARENCY_REQUIRED error for amazon.co.uk in Chromium. This is due to a recent Google feature that requires HTTPS certificate chains to be transparent and affects a few other large sites - I noticed bt.com is affected as well and that this first occurred 28 days ago so I assume it's hit some kind of grace period. This has been fixed in Chrome 55 but Chromium is still on 53. There appear to be an assortment of workarounds up to and including purging and reinstalling Chromium but obviously this still provides 53. I have switched to Chrome hopefully temporarily but there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity in the Chromium-browser Launchpad. I understand 55 brings in the fairly radical but long awaited change of preferring HTML5 but this problem with HTTPS would seem to be more of a show-stopper.
