The 3 month limit from Let's Encrypt was a blessing to me, as it forced me to monitor and automate all the renewals.

I renew once a month, and if things should break, I have a two month window to fix the issues.

Before that I would receive a Comodo SSL Certificate once a year via email and until then I always had forgotten what I had to do with it. What an unnecessary pain.




I suppose it's the "green lock" that drives people to still use certificates issued non-automated way.


Extended validation is dead; none of Chrome, Firefox or Safari show any distinguishing UI at this point.


What browsers still show a green lock, or anything to differentiate EV certs? Only IE?
