I know that this forum is a blend of technical, semi-technical, and non-technical folks, so I'm going to do my best to aim for the middle. There is an astonishing amount of misinformation in this thread. Maybe it can be a good idea to move to Firefox, as that seems to be somewhat less affected, so I have heard.

It's possible that the folks that have control over those certificates (or Apple, maybe) will issue a fix of some kind. For example, it sounds like Chrome may not be in a good place, at the moment. There may not be too much noticeable result for most users, and some browsers may be affected more than others. Older operating systems will be affected more, because their internet protocols (Authenticated by those certificates), used by browsers to connect to any internet site, are expiring, and some common ones, used by a fair number of sites, are expiring, with the result being that on your older system, with an older browser, is affected more than if you had newer software. They might be suspect for a lot of other issues, but not so much for this one )īut, the 'root cause' is that certain common security certificates are set to expire.
