And that's why chrome will mark your site as insecure.

That seems to be the best thing humans came up with so far, if you want nice stuff that requires coordination. You also have to "beg" for a connection & ip address. You also have to "beg" for a DNS name. Please propose something better (that doesn't come with its own significant drawbacks).

That is a false statement. Using 'what could happen' logic, Windows should label Chrome/Firefox/IE as insecure/malware since someone could theoretically do bad things with those tools.

Why don't you start first? Since this HTTPS so-called 'solution' has its own significant drawbacks.
