I searched the forum and found no discussion about TrustCor Systems and their certificate authority status in regard to Pale Moon.
I don't know the details, and I doubt many others do as well so here's an article to get us started:

(As usual with Slashdot articles, there is likely gold in the comment section.)
I'm not terribly concerned, but it seems something to bring up.
Any insight from those in the know would be appreciated.
Is this a CA Pale Moon currently accepts? Is that something that might change in the future?
Cheers!
TrustCor certificate authority, worth looking into?

Re: TrustCor certificate authority, worth looking into?
Yes
It might, when we next update our built-in certificate store.
Not sure why this is made more of a deal than any other changes to the certstore currently done. CAs are added and removed all the time based on the Browser/CA forum decisions and trust negotiations done in that corner of the web.
If you want to explicitly distrust the CA then go into your cert manager, find the certs I screenshot, and edit their trust.
Note that this will impact SSL connectivity for sites that employ certificates signed by TrustCor and that have not been cross-signed by another CA.
