About Alipay:
Alipay is the most online payment method in China.
It is operated by Alibaba Group (NYSE:BABA) which just went through IPO, though Alipay service business has not gone public.
However, cautions should be taken when installing Alipay plugin. It installs a several autostart background (so-called) 'safety component', but some are actually doing things more than safety. Also it installs self-signed root ca cert in system cert pool, yet this cert is not currently taking any effect (i.e. untrusting them won't cause malfunction).
AFAIK, both the providers are offering AlphaSSL.
