Chrome is moving away from certificate pinning [1].

Even if it's an issue, a security researcher could recompile Chromium or Firefox with certificate pinning turned off and test with that.

The browsers are moving away from certificate pinning. The apps aren't, as they control both ends. If I made a Facebook replacement today i'd do it too.
