> Browser vendors need to rethink the mostly blind eye they've been turning toward corporate DPI and silent MITM.
At this point I'm thinking it's more than a "blind eye", it's willful collusion. It's been too long since problem like these have been pointed out publicly. Moxie Marlinspike talked about SSL certificate problems back in 2011. Similarly, Certificate Patrol has tried to solve a real problem since 2012 if not earlier.
But the browser vendors take very half-hearted steps to solve the problem. E.g. Firefox. Mozilla gets on the order of $300 million per year in revenue. Huh? WTF? Where does all the money go if high priority issues like this are attacked mostly by promises and baby steps?
At what point do we begin to think that something that outwardly appears to be simple neglect is actually a lot more sinister?
Before Edward Snowden's revelations I wasn't nearly as paranoid as the above sounds. Now, almost nothing I can think of is as bad as what the NSA and its ilk throughout the world have been doing to us for years.
