Since Google is already cracking down on OEMs modifying the Android root store for various countries, I think it would make sense for Chrome to have the same root store as Android does (especially in light of Lenovo's Superfish, Dell's eDellroot and so on).


Chrome already has the ability to de-trust things trusted at the OS level, FWIW. It might be interesting to see how many OEM-installed certificates they could de-trust by default.
