"Web of trust" is a pretty specific term that doesn't apply to TLS/SSL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust

Did you mean to say "public key infrastructure" (PKI)?

I'm having a bit of an old person moment, and I'm not really that old, but I recall SSL cert sales back in the day pushing trust over encryption.

I may be confusing the terms "chain of trust" and "web of trust," but to my best knowledge, I don't recall EVs being sold on the former term.

My apologies. I hope there are folks out there who have a better recollection who can piece this together.
