Plus the little lock icon will have a yellow warning triangle, which will bug me forever. I can still do that if I click on the “Advanced.” button, then the “I understand the risk, and want to continue” button, but that becomes tedious.
In previous versions of Firefox (currently it’s 70.0.1) I could add an exception per site. The thing that stood in my way this time was Firefox’s insistence that it wants to remain secure, which is a good thing! However somewhat annoying when I’m trying to develop a site locally and all I have is a self signed certificate courtesy of Laravel Valet, and Firefox gives me this face no matter which site I visit on the. That said I decided to give it a go once more. I’ve tried to move to Firefox a number of times, but something always stood in my way, and solving them was a lot more inconvenient than just going back to Chrome. Recently Google hasn’t exactly been amazing when it comes to directions Chrome takes, see this here tweet:
Most of the time that means running a local server with a self signed certificate, because even sandboxed payment gateways require SSL connection. I’ve been using Chrome for a long time to develop my sites / plugins / functionalities.
