CloudFlare uses them for Universal SSL, so that's roughly 5% of all websites[1]. Their overall market share (in the CA business) appears to be around 40%[2].

Oh, CloudFlare uses them. That's quite a market share. It is sad that they have such a bad reputation... Hopefully someone buys them out who restructures them or something....

An alternative option is to petition CloudFlare to switch Certificate Authorities and hit Comodo where it hurts - in their wallet.
