Following the eMudhra incident I made a tool to distrust all except the 30 most essential CAs on my Linux and Windows systems (https://github.com/hyperreality/distrust). I was shocked at how messy the situation is on Linux, with browsers, CLI tools, programming languages all having their own stores and distros building the bundles differently (update-ca-certificates in Debian vs update-ca-trust in Arch or Fedora). Or like Firefox not using the certs in /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/ but its own per-profile NSS store instead. There has to be a better way.
