| Nov 25 at 21:36 | comment | added | browsermator | they do use cloudflare and load balancers so you can have different certs/CAs used there. I guess they'd do that in case one CA had an outage? | |
| Nov 25 at 20:57 | comment | added | schroeder♦ | Unless they use Cloudflare, in which case the cert might say GTS ... Welcome to the internet - everything is interconnected. | |

| Nov 25 at 20:27 | comment | added | user378507 | @schroeder Sorry to not mention LetsEncrypt, but yes, I'm aware LetsEncrypt is also one of their CAs. So, updating: DigiCert, GlobalSign, AND LetsEncrypt are the CAs used by Wikipedia, but definetely not Google! | |
| Nov 25 at 20:20 | comment | added | user378507 | @garethTheRed No I'm not, it's a normal conection | |
| Nov 25 at 19:09 | comment | added | garethTheRed | I get Let's Encrypt on Android, Linux & Windows. Are you behind some form of proxy or TLS inspection system? | |
| Nov 25 at 19:07 | history | closed | schroeder♦ | Not suitable for this site | |
| Nov 25 at 19:05 | comment | added | schroeder♦ | And when I check, it's a LetsEncrypt cert. I think the only issue here is your assertion that Wikipedia only uses certain CAs. And I'm not seeing a security question. | |
