Yes as far as I know; their Sectigo/Comodo root is older.

But, you can still use Let's Encrypt with old Android devices until the later part of 2021 using the alternate chain: https://letsencrypt.org/2020/11/06/own-two-feet.html (As a point of reference, Caddy supports configuring this alternate chain.)

If zerossl is reselling/a subsidiary of sectigo, that’s enough reason to never use this.

Sectigo is the new name for Comodo. The same bunch of pricks who tried to trademark “Let’s Encrypt”.

Other players in the acme cert “business” is great. Renaming a slime ball name and carrying on like nothing happened is not ok.
