This can used to intercept traffic to Google from Edge and other Windows applications (except Chrome and Firefox). Hug-ops to Google folks.
Microsoft are well aware of the extensive history of problems with this CA - I emailed them my concerns in 2021, and further issues were raised during a public CCADB discussion in 2022 - but they clearly don't care. I hope this incident prompts some change; Windows users deserve better!
