I feel like this reputation would result in more orders because my audience would feel safer. My site deals in aftermarket auto parts and a large part of our audience is older, so it is very important that our visitors feel safe and secure.

Anyone have any thoughts or know of a study such as this?

http://www.whichssl.com/browser_recognition.html shows a similar comparison chart.

As you compare the two charts, you will notice that the competition is not mentioned in either of them with the exception of the major players like Verisign or Thawte. Simply because you can not ignore those major ones.

Even though I believe InstantSSL may have something to do with the other chart, I would prefer them over FreeSSL if only because of slightly increased browser ubiquity.

Feel free to compare yourselves.

Interestingly neither site addresses the SSL claims of the other group, i.e. SSLReview does not address the necessity for good browser compliance and WhichSSL does not address the limitations of chained certificates.

Is there any place where one can get unbiased opinions on such things? Hope against hope…

Bad timing. Thanks for linking something else up!</p> Thanks for updating this - I found it rather odd that I interviewed someone at sslreview for that post - and linked to them and magically they disappeared.
