What does your grandma think? Did anyone bother to ask her?

What question would I ask her?

(Seriously tho, how would you frame the question in a way my grandma, whose only access to the internet is via an iPad, could understand)

My own grandma doesn't know what encryption/HTTP/TLS etc are. I think for those who are uninformed it's a sane default to not trust self-signed certs.

That said, there should be a toggle in preferences or about:config to allow it for those who know what they are doing.
