And yet there are few complaints here. Up to the time of writing, I've
had no problem reaching the sites you mentioned, and no security warnings
(except that I intentionally browse with an old flashplayer configured
so that it doesn't start playing them but asks for confirmation instead).

I thought you just wrote "I have run into other problems since I
installed libnss3 from sid" above and "I blame a crypto update
for this" earlier. I couldn't follow your posts because I read a
lot of statements of blame before I saw any evidence of what your
problems were.

Gene and I both run "wheezy" (though I run jessie too). He has many
problems, often reported here, and some of the fixes he uses are
very un-Debian to say the least. (I wrote "wheezy" because Gene's
system is really only *based on* wheezy.)

I've still only seen your assertions that they're the same
problems?/symptoms?/messages? (Not even sure which of these applies.)

Hoping things sort themselves out (often happens on testing)...

Cheers,
