The 'Modern' Web of Fake Security and Easy Censorship of Whole Domains
Each year it gets worse (as Web browsers get updated with more restrictions added)
Do you have a certificate but it's not part of the US-led CA cartel?
Cannot enter.
Do you have a valid certificate but some system clock is maladjusted?
Get out!
Does the certificate have an expiry date one hour old (maybe the owner is asleep)?
Too dangerous, even "Advanced..." won't let you through.
This is the direction of the Web, and those who stand to gain are large companies (with plenty of staff to wrangle certificates) and major censors, especially those who control the "important" CAs.
Last year we published: Mozilla's Concept of Web Security: Firefox Cannot Access Wikileaks Because of Clocks or Mindless Bytes
Back then the error was possible to bypass.
Now, however, merely trying to bypass the warning gives this:
No way past this.
And in Falkon:
They're not protecting me, they just prevent me from entering a site that I wish to enter. This is really bad design. We're losing control of the Web, not just of devices. █
