What browser for Code Signing Certificates on Windows 11

Observe the lesson:

Avoid using Services provided by too big of a company (where
practical) because they will cut you off without a thought.

I assume the certificate companies had a good reason to use IE, but I
would -really- like to know that reason...

+1000

Listed and/or large companies work for their shareholders. Non-listed
and/or small companies work for their clients/customers. I leave it up
to you to work out which of these offer the best service and products.

I had a talk once at a conference with a guy who worked for Comodo. To
listen to him describe how it worked was both horrifying and hilarious.
Essentially nobody had a clue what they were doing except making a ton
of money. And I think that's pretty much what a lot of these
certifications boil down to. Personally I don't trust code signed
software any more than I trust not code signed software. Just look at
the SolarWinds hack! That stuff was code signed and contained malicious
code from (allegedly) Russian hackers.

Best regards,
