If I&#x27;m connecting to my bank or preferred e-commerce store, then yes. If I&#x27;m connecting to Joe&#x27;s wordpress blog or some random wiki then I barely care if the site is even under TLS to begin with, let alone whether the site had passed a human authorisation process prior to receiving their certificate.<p>And frankly, the vast majority of internet go-ers are non-technical and wouldn&#x27;t even notice the different between DV and EV certificates (let alone care), so I question just how well EV even solves the problem you&#x27;re claiming to address.<p>It&#x27;s also generally good etiquette to disclose when you&#x27;re the author and employee of the company in question (a company that specifically sells EV certificates) when replying on HN; since that highlights biases regarding your arguments
