Hi @culgin
I'm one of those people, who did not know anything about mentioned "tomorrow" (it's already today!)
Consider sharing this post on "project hope" telegram channel with others. I think everyone could benefit from reading this publication. Personally I didn't hear about EV until today. So thx for bringing it up.
Would you think that simple websites (onepagers) would need any certificates? Is users trust needed while they are visiting just simple/informative sites (which do not collect any data?)
Personally I always preferred Firefox over chrome, and currently I'm testing Brave Browser. I'm sure you've heard about this one as well.
ps.
Under 50 SP and finding it hard to do much on this platform? I might just be able to raise your SP to 50.
Did many users contacted you asking for delegation? Just curious.
Cheers, upvote on the way!

Thanks for dropping by again my friend. I am trying to only post economic/blockchain/crypto/investment/Steem related posts to the Tele group. But since you asked me to, I have broadcasted it :)
On your question, if it is just a one pager site, there is no functional reason to put a SSL certificate. However, for aesthetic reasons, you might still want to have one. That is because browsers like Chrome are starting to display a red warning on sites without SSL encryption. Hence, if you don't want your visitors to be alarmed, it still makes sense to install a free certificate (e.g. from Let's Encrypt).
I prefer Firefox too. Heard of Brave because of Basic Attention Token. Earning of BAT by viewing ads isn't enabled for my country yet, so I don't see an incentive on switching.
As for my #raiseto50 initiative, so far I have delegated to 2 Steemians. If you have any new users you want to help, feel free to refer them to me :)
I just realized that I never actually thanked you for this amazing comment @culgin
Yours
