Mozilla and Google ban Kazakhstan’s government-issued security certificates
Mozilla and Google released statements indicating they took action to deny the Kazakhstan government from intercepting Internet traffic within the country through the installation of a government-issued certificate on all devices and in every browser in order to access the Internet. Firefox and Chrome browsers will block the use of the government certificate. This means that it will not be trusted by browsers when attempting to access a website that responds with this certificate, even if a user has installed it.
