1) The browser uses its own and system-wide storage, while wget only uses system-wide (via the OpenSSL library).
2) Browser storage is updated with the browser, i.e. often, and you can add entries to it manually.
3) System-wide in Linux is usually deployed from the ca-certificates package.
4) Solution for MacOSX: superuser.com/a/451857
sudo port install curl-ca-bundle
echo CA_CERTIFICATE=/opt/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt >> ~/.wgetrc
