Annoying interface to chromium/blink & self signed certificates
-
For some very commercial but also security reason, the chromium browser with blink engine gives a weird error message when hitting a self signed certificate. I can explain that in private conversation. In ancient times, a browser like Opera allowed to store an exception for one time or forever. It annoys me greatly that I can't control this anymore. There is no option accepting the self signed cert for once or forever. To me this is a great step back. But of course, if the Browser is the new TV for dummies, it makes sense as the sheep do not understand what they are doing. But I hate browser paternalism. That's why I'm using vivaldi once opera 12 works on less and less sites due to the missing woff - implementation

Wait a minute. How does vivaldi then look up certificates? Is there an API to look into my KDE cert store? Wouldn't that break the sandbox? Or is the certificate manager within blink/chromium and they refuse to change and vivaldi refuses to branch to write permanent exceptions into the store?
I don't want to have Vivaldi without warnings, but the current messaging is IMHO misleading and secondly, the browser has to go out of my way with annoying dialogs. Whenever I requested dialogs for privacy from browser makers, they said: 'impossible, our users don't want annoying dialogs'. And now I can't get rid of a dialog that only benefits large web-estates? This would be really interesting to know..
"Please use another brower" is not an option if vivaldi wants to be more than a visual theme of blink/chromium (like there are zillions)
Anyway, thanks for the response
