Not cool. Private keys generated on their servers and then the idea of inatalling the certs as trusted in your OS/browser is mentioned. Also 1024-bit keys. Is this some kind of test to see who falls for this?

This is not intended to be a substitute for a proper CA, not intended to be used in production. Only for convenience and if you trust yourself and the service, you can install the your root certificate in your browser. If not, then don't. Just like pushing past the security warning, I strongly recommend against the procedure to end users. Only to people who know what they are doing.
