Hands down one of the greatest services out there, stopped a racket and made the internet secure.

I remember a time when having an HTTPS connection was for "serious" projects only because the cost of the certificate was much higher than the domain. You go commando and if it sticks then you purchase a certificate for a 100 bucks or something.

Google/Chrome and Firefox also deserve credit for making a free and open CA viable.
