    So, basically, @Gnome Web can’t display sites with valid TLS and so you might want to consider using another browser.

      PS. In case it isn’t clear without context: I love Gnome Web and it’s my primary browser on Linux and this is me vocalising what someone who doesn’t know or care about libraries, etc., would think and do when faced with this bug.

      For updates, see my other toots.

      (And definitely use and help improve Gnome Web because it is one of the few browsers I know that isn’t either built by, funded by or otherwise in cahoots with surveillance capitalists.)

      @aral GNOME Web does rely heavily on (100% free software) code provided by Apple, so take that as you will.

      And if you don't look GNOME Web's UI, Midori and my own Odysseus share these qualities and it's backend.

      @alcinnz I’d call Apple a capitalist, not a surveillance capitalist. Though greed/extreme stupidity/a change in management could always push them over. Currently, in jurisdictions where it does not make it impossible for them to do business (see China), they have an absolute competitive advantage in privacy over their main rivals. So what remains to be seen is whether they can capitalise on that or throw it away. They seem to be doing the former. Still a T$ corporation though.

      @alcinnz @aral While it is definitely true that a good chunk of WebKit because Apple, let's not forget about the project roots (KDE's KHTML), and that non-Apple ports use a good amount of non-Apple code: libsoup for networking, glib-networking + GnuTLS for crypto, Geoclue for geolocation, Enchant for spell-checking, GStreamer for multimedia, Cairo + OpenGL for graphics, FreeType2 + Harfbuzz for text... Quite a lot in the end!
