> add its certificate to your trust stores
If only that was so simple and all software used a common store... Without exceptions like java apps, apps with hardcoded ca_path, scripts which call curl with hardcoded ca_path, etc. On top of that are websockets in FF which will just fail rather than notify you about untrusted certificates. After experiencing that first-hand for a while, I wouldn't recommend this idea. It's the second greatest annoyance after enterprise web proxies.
