I don't like Chrome but I can understand your need to use it.

Chrome causes confusion with EV certs - I can tell family members etc. 
that when going to their bank site or paypal or wherever - to make sure 
they see green in top left corner, but Chrome specifically chose not to 
implement EV certs the same way causing confusion and yes - I hate 
Google for that amongst other things.

It is especially bad on mobile where there is no visual difference 
between an EV cert in FireFox and a "normal" cert in Chrome.

I hope Google crashes and burns, they are bad for the Internet.

But that's my opinion, others are entitled to their own.
