<p>I have a vague feeling that the SSL from cacert will be greenbar if you pass your challenges. Or whatever they call it. </p>
<p>I will look into that other SSL stuff though. 18$ for a basic cert doesn't seem like a huge ding.</p>
<p>But if cacert god added to Ubuntu or mint that would be a big step forward. </p>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Their certificate at <a href="https://www.cacert.org/" target="_blank">https://www.cacert.org/</a> is not recognized by my recent versions of Chrome or Firefox so I wonder what good it is to get an SSL certificate from them for a public web site.<br>
<br>
I tried some months ago to get a free certificate from <a href="http://cert.startcom.org/" target="_blank">http://cert.startcom.org/</a> but they didn't issue it and they didn't send me any email or anything.<br>
<br>
I end up buying from <a href="https://www.thesslstore.com/" target="_blank">https://www.thesslstore.com/</a> -> RapidSSL , the cheapest commercial certificate I know of ($11 - $18/year).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>

>I'm terribly curious as to what people think about CACert.org this place sounds fantastic especially since you dont have to pay piles and piles of money if your not an organization and still want a good CA. Its free as a user but costs if you want to donate for the verified button from them. Seems like a pretty good idea building a CA based on a web of trust basis.<br>
