Chrome distrusted Symantec certs when 70 got pushed to stable (at the end of October)[1]. Digg shows NET::ERR_CERT_SYMANTEC_LEGACY error when I navigate to it. Firefox was supposed to remove the Symantec certs in 63 (also to be released at the end of October) but I guess they pushed it back a version[2].

All major browser coordinated to distrust the certs at the same time.

Chrome also shows an error. The reason nobody at Digg noticed is that Digg is not https by default, so only people using certain extensions would hit that error.

Is this the fault of Firefox or Digg though?

It's pointing out the mindshare and impact that Chrome has.
