Yeah you might want to do a little more research on that topic as you clearly have no idea what your talking about.

Incidentally did you know that web browsers tell certificate authorities about every website you visit that uses TLS with support for OCSP stapling.

OCSP stapling is exactly what enables the browser to verify the revocation status without contacting the cert authority. Also, not all browsers check OCSP.
