This doesn't have anything to do with power users/n00bs. An invalid SSL certificate isn't any better or worse depending on the type of user. If a site sets up SSL with an invalid certificate, then this buys the user nothing but a false sense of security. The proper approach to this IMHO is to make adding exceptions in all web browsers (especially IE) as hard and explicit as in Firefox 3. This would perhaps force site admins to get a grip and stop ignoring broken SSL certs, once they get a flood of complaints. > Is there any key to toogle off this new feature? I *so much* hope that there isn't. People should really start to understand that this is a SERIOUS error and shouldn't at all be considered 'normal'.
