and " amorphous beast[s] that keep engulfing more and more functionality"
and
putting control in the hands of Sys. Admins as opposed to Developers.

When is someone going to do something about the www browsers?

Can we at least take out those 'unknown' SSL warnings that devs decided to
put in sometime in early 21st century?

I think that was a colossal mistake that basically did to the web what
systemd does to the OS.
Rather than rely on users or admins to understand their connection and
secure their browser, developers mandated that everyone on the web puts
100% trust in a brand new industry the browser devs created basically
"over-night" to sell SSL certs.

Is this an issue that Devuan can make an official stance on?
