What was that German company, StartSSL or something, that offered free certs for a while, big on S/MIME, (almost deprecated PGP/GPG,) and personal client certificates on the browser, that sort of thing?

Then there was a big kerfuffle because the Chinese allegedly bought them out.

Then EFF / certbot / letsencrypt started offering them. It's a "gentleman's agreement" of sorts. One and only one CA will offer "free" certs, and they're "well-known," basically for development and not for e-commerce.

I'm rather upset with EFF at the moment, by the way. They're always pushing "adult content" like a bunch of porno addicts and they have acquired almost a Salesforce- or SAP-like CRM system in their back office, collecting lot of personal information on political dissidents and precisely the privacy-minded individuals who would rather not have such possibly derogatory information collected about them.
