Encryption is mandatory in 2018

What is an SSL certificate?

An SSL certificate is essentially a piece of software that is installed on a server to facilitate encryption. In order for an SSL certificate to be trusted by browsers it has to be issued by a trusted certificate authority.

Is SSL expensive?

It depends on what you're using SSL for. SSL serves two functions: it secures connections between a web server and a web user's browser, but it can also provide verified proof of identity. If you just need encryption, SSL is cheap. If you want business authentication, it can get a little more pricey. But don't worry, nobody sells SSL for less than us. We guarantee it.

Why do the browsers get to decide
what's mandatory?

Let me ask you a question, could you use the internet without your web browser? No. Your browser is your portal to the internet. If websites want to be viewed correctly, they need to be trusted by the browsers. And the browsers have decided not to trust unencrypted HTTP websites.
