Michael,

I also have ZERO time for Symantec who have done everything in their 
power to be bad and evil people on the internet however I would be VERY 
interested to hear why you have an issue with Digicert!?

Digicert have done some amazing work, in my opinion, moving SSL into the 
21st century.  They have actively been championing new standards as well 
as being the first and only provider that was willing to put themselves 
on the line by issuing certs for onion domains allowing people in 
countries/places who couldn't access the internet safely the ability to 
access information and get help.

Yes they are a corporation.  No they are not Lets Encrypt however I 
really don't think they are "less trustworthy" than the maggots that are 
Symantec!

Just my 0.02 GBP
