corporate IT administrators

Did I write anything but the truth?

Am I wrong when I state that despite vehement public opposition to the idea, browser people make sure year after year that it is possible to MITM connexions by importing CAs in their certificate stores? That is a fact and easily checked by consulting browser changelogs.

Am I wrong when I state that making standard communication with proxies obsolete, by refusing to overhaul it with the rest of the web stack, only pushed corporations and security providers to convert massively to the worst and most dangerous kind of MITM? Who targets anything else nowadays?

Am I wrong when I state the people browsers claim to "protect", actually use the tech browsers want to ban (proxies), to protect themselves (for example to bypass the great firewall of China)? That this technology is by no means as one-sided as the browser discourse wants you to believe?

Am I wrong when I state that refusing to give browser users the interfaces to check whom they are giving access to, only results in having this access taken without control?

What, exactly, is accomplished by continuing to push for an ideal state, while enabling its exact reverse year after year, since society is not ready for this ideal state today (will it ever be?) Would it be such a defeat to give browser users a middle ground solution now, instead of waiting for a complete victory that refused to happen for at least a decade?

And, BTW, I do not mean ideal in the positive sense. I mean ideal in the imaginary sense. We've left the point, when one could imagine connecting to the Internet, without firewalls and other security tools, a long time ago. Refusing to secure the network, because browsers have their own security, is irresponsible (first, all connexions are not made via browsers, and second, even if they were, why should we trust browsers absolutely?)
