She makes some good points, but only focuses on Google's monopoly being an issue. It is, but there's no mention of privacy concerns, the oversaturation of ads, space being created for ads by deliberately worsening the UX, etc. The industry itself is a shitshow.
The issue isn't so much that Google has a monopoly on the enormously invasive data that's collected. The issue is that it is being collected.

If you mean signed by your CA then this is me too, albeit with an intermediate CA in the middle (honestly pointless in my case, but old habits etc).
I don't host anything externally and trusting the CA certs internally is easy as Ionly need to do it on a handful of devices. This + reverse proxy keeps things tidy and uncomplicated.
Reminds me of Popavalium Andropoff's gutsy effort
(Guessing this didn't make it out of Aus much, there's a reference in this UrbanDictionary link for the uninitiated)
