The whole Extended Validation debate comes down to a few truths some people aren't yet willing to face:
Is anyone else in a position to? Arguably Let's Encrypt's sponsors do by funding the project that will eventually bring down the CA industry, but aside from that browsers are the main party with any influence.

I agree they've done some good things and are improving, but it's a constant battle getting them to do the right thing in these areas (not just CA, thinking more about Publisher/Advertiser-Agent) especially when one of the big browsers is owned by an Ad giant.

ad-space: different issue. tend to agree there, particularly after google first announced to ban bad ads and then we learned that basically nothing qualifies as a bad ad

Yes, and I don't want to demonize browser vendors and especially not individual ppl working on browsers.
