Summary:
CloudKit JS uses SSL certificates that aren't deprecated in Chrome, which result in a total unsuitability of CloudKit JS in Google Chrome. Here is the blog post: https://security.googleblog.com/2018/03/distrust-of-symantec-pki-immediate.html

Steps to Reproduce:
- Update to Chrome 66 or newer version
- Go to a website that uses CloudKit JS, example: the CloudKit catalog
- You should get a NETWORK_ERROR
- Open Developer Tools, and look at the warning ⚠️.

Expected Results:
CloudKit JS should be supported correctly on Google Chrome

Actual Results:
CloudKit JS is unusable.

Version/Build:
CloudKit JS: 2
Chrome: 68.0.3440.106

Configuration:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)

Comments

I'm not an expert, but I believe the issue is caused by the SSL provider (DigiCert), which was acquired by Symantec. By switching to another SSL certificate provider, the issue would be fixed
