I'll never trust anything that is owned/managed by a chinese company. I'll most certainly switch all my corpo certs to another CA

(Let’s Encrypt has no plans to issue EV or OV certificates at this time. ...) Where should i go ?

Then I sure hope you submitted this via telegraph and not with a computer.

(Drinking game: one shot for each component Made in China… just make sure to call the ambulance in advance, otherwise they might not reach you quick enough.)

I do not need to say to my customers "please trust my (own) computer". But "you can give this website sensitive infos without someone eyedropping". My windows 7 dell laptop & internet explorer browser is irrelevant.

If you need EV or code signing, or anything that Let's Encrypt doesn't provide, DigiCert is wonderful.

I agree, DigiCert has been very easy to work with. That said, it's really time for them to drop the price on their standard certificates.

Boring addition: 139 mail ("important user" listed on WoSign's [comparison] before the page's [removal]), azure.cn (who used CNNIC before switching to WoSign), and cnnic.cn (yes, CNNIC root CA) all switched to DigiCert for their sites. Great alternative it seems like.

They charge nearly 200 bucks for a year certificate. They must be mental.

Though interestingly, their EV cert pricing is quite competitive.
