> startssl.com offers free SSL certificates valid in almost every browser, good for one year

startssl certs aren't trusted by my browser (or maybe the os?), so ssl's identity authentication for startssl is void. It's still better than no cert since ISPs can't detect what certs my browser trusts, thus wont make stupid moves, probably.

If you can use more widely recognized certificates, please do.

Which browser/OS combo are you using?

I've debated purchasing a wildcard certificate from them but was afraid of having users whose browsers didn't trust the root CA. May I ask what combination of OS and browser you're using?
