The former is censorship, and while I support the right of the society I live in to decide that some things should not be made available, I find it highly inappropriate that a browser vendor would take it into their hands to make such decisions. Do you find it inappropriate that the Yandex Browser is currently unable to connect to https://crypto.cat/ and https://tv.eurosport.com/ (demo site) with no apparent option for ignoring the problem? If not, you're already OK with browser vendors making such decisions, and merely disagree about the cases in which it should be possible to ignore the certificate error. Philip
