By that matter.

@BraveBrowser people

Add some things as user controlled public key pinning or even web resource version pinning in an advanced menu.

Resource pinning isn't gonna work unless the app isn't actively being developed. And if it isn't, pinning is redundant.

Public key pinning would disregard the PKI RFCs, so not a good idea either.

If people want to whitelist only some certs they already can by providing the browser only with the specific one's they want to trust.

That would be disingenious. Ever had a thing that wanted to encrypt text in a browser? Those things could finally make sense. Or that one offline wallet generator. It would be sweet if software become actually finished.
