The real and true bothersome part, is that Firefox (and others) do not seem to allow permanent exceptions.
Going through multiple prompts, each and every time someone wants to do what they want, is problematic.
I have gear on my LAN. No SSL, or self-signed, expired certs. I don't care. Ever. Why would I spent 10 seconds setting such things up? They're locked behind a firewall, (a secondary firewall), have no direct network access, and can't even be reached without port forwarding via SSH.
Yet, do you think I can tell my browser "never ever prompt for this again"? Nope. Nada.
I have zero issues with safer defaults, prompting when required. However, the idea that "Firefox knows best" is the sort of asinine behaviour that causes big tech issues all the time.
My point is, this is going to be annoying... not because of the feature, but instead, if I enable it, I'll be cut off from legacy sites by a wall of forever "Do you want to really do this?" with likely 10 clicks of 'yes' and 'ok' and 'i understand', combined with never storing this as a default.
