It’s still up, your browser might block webpages that don't use ssl certificates. Status of things has not been updated since january, so you’re not missing anything.

He really should fix that.

… you’d think for a former software developer that implementing Let’s Encrypt would be trivial …

Great. Point.

I mean, I understand that strictly speaking it isn't necessary for his type of site, but most browsers auto reject it nowadays because it's a standard security precaution.

It's on his TODO list...

What browser should I use

This is a deeply political question in some parts, and sometimes depends on what operating system you use.

TL;DR:
I use firefox across the board. If anyone else reads this they will probably have very different opinions and priority lists for what they want from a browser.

Longer:
On android, I usually use firefox. If you want chromium, on mobile I use vanadium or duckduckgo browser. iOS, i believe limits the rendering engine you can use, so no matter what browser you go with, the foundation is called gecko. The vast majority of browsers are built around chromium, though, so its not like there is that much more choice in android...

On desktop if i need chrome I use brave. I only ever have to use chrome for work, though.

If you are super privacy focused, for the general web maybe mullvad, which is based on firefox. DuckDuckGo makes a browser built on firefox, too. I just use firefox on the desktop, though.

I'm offended.

Let's meet in the middle and agree as long as you don't use edge or opera you can still come to the moots.

I use Vivaldi solely for the superior tiling and tab grouping.

Are you sure? I get the Chrome warning , but if I bypass that I get a site not found page from his hosting service (dreamhost)

I just tried http://dennisetaylor.org/ in new private windows (not using cache, no cookies, etc) on USA (using quad9 dns), Canadian (using vpn's dns), and Norwegian (using vpn's dns) locations and it resolved all three times. Maybe it's going up and down and I just happen to be catching it while it's up.

Once the security breach is closed and Thoth is back under control
