[Freedombox-discuss] FreedomBox/Unhosted/PageKite for Access Innovation Prize 2012

[Michiel de Jong]

i appreciate that we as power users can use those things, but our goal
with freedombox is to make something for 'normal' people. If you visit
https://g10code.com/steed.html using for instance Chrome, you get a
big page saying you are under attack and this domain is unsafe. In
Firefox it's grey, but it's still a scary page. Did you see that?

Therefore, even though i'm also very much against the politics of the
CA system we have, I think these alternatives are not an option (yet)
(unfortunately).
