Trusted Certificates

[Dannydet]

I have a list of certificates in system, but am lost as far as which ones to keep or delete...

well i would throw away your wedding certificate (if you have one) and i would keep your highschool certificate, never throw those out.

are you talking about security certificates?

 

[Dannydet]

Yes, security certificates.
There's a huge alphabetical list of security certificates that I have no idea what they do...
Can I delete them all or what?

 

[Dannydet]

This is the main reason I ask, I am using Adguard but in order to filter https on websites, it wants to install a security certificate.

i would not delete them. it is ok to add credentials. from what i know those with security credentials are those that have a verified trusted servers.

i do not see a reason to clear it

OK sounds good. I'll keep them since they are in the system portion of trusted certificates...

I'd just leave all of them as is. Browser security certs are how your web browser interacts with various https:// sites. Manually deleting some of them could result in a problem accessing with different web sites.

Thanks svim...
I just read up on this and I can see by disabling or removing them may cause more harm than good.
