Re: [tor-talk] is Torbrowser more affected by webservers failing to send their complete certificate chain?

Hi,

I assume that Torbrowser users are more affected by webservers
that do not send their complete certificate chain (incl. interm. CAs)
due to the fact that torbrowser stores/caches less data (including certs?)
persistently.


an example of a page that results in an TLS error page in Torbrowser due
to incomplete cert. chain:
https://irtf.org/

With the growing number of sites deploying HSTS, the impact is even bigger.

Should Torbrowser ship a few common interm. CAs by default? (like the
letsencrypt issuing CAs)
