How do we get Brave to allow self signed certs for localhost? Required for web devs (2024)

// check available versions
apt-cache madison brave-browser
// downgrade
sudo apt install brave-browser=1.71.123

Then open brave://flags#allow-insecure-localhost to re-enable it

Somehow it is not required on regular Google Chrome, so there is a chance they either screw up with competing chromium-based browsers or fixed it in newer versions.
