Description of the issue:
Visiting a site with an expired certificate makes the site unavailable although it may be technically up
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
- Go to a site with an expired certificate (this one expired on March 1st (today) - yea they forgot to update their cert, but I still want to use the site (it’s a state gov GIS site)
- You get NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID Error
- There is no way to “visit anyway” under advanced like i’m used to. I do see this note in the error:
You cannot {site} right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Expected result:
Under advanced, I should be able to load the site anyway, acknowledging security implications like “Yea, they forgot to update their cert, ok i still want to visit”
Or, there should be a setting in brave to disable date/time checking or something like that if you want to make it less accessible to mass users.
