Quite shocking to hear that most browsers are cutting corners on revocation and even more shocking that Chrome doesn't check them at all. Kind of concerned for security reasons. I guess even more reasons to be extra careful when browsing. Thanks for sharing it. Great article!

A bit of a side note, it's thanks to your link that I discovered Let's Encrypt and finally got to freely, and successfully, deploy HTTPS on my Apache servers. Certificate Authorities have always been a road block before.

Security landscape is going to become much more volatile. We have taken it for granted.
