It's an opinion article, but I heavily agree with it. It's really sad that technical decisions are made by chimps who can't tell the difference between a computer and internet.

No idea about what happened behind the closed doors, if anything; but I feel like compiling your browser with a patchset that removes the restriction on CA removal is going to become a thing. Good thing I'm on Gentoo already.

Could you link to this? I didn't know such a patch-set existed

Oh, it doesn't - the restriction is not in place to begin with. But it will definitely happen if this is to go through.
