Firefox sticks to the spec, Chrome makes you type out base64 manually to ignore the spec.

The TLS errors that aren't unbypassible by specification (i.e. HSTS, see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6797) can be bypassed on Firefox just fine. It's only the ones where the spec says bypassing the error shouldn't be possible where Firefox takes a hard stance.

Chrome had to alter their bypass string several times because vendors documented the override rather than fixing their insecure crapware. It makes total sense to me that Firefox does the same.

Software should do what I want it to, not stick to a spec.

Hey at least Chrome lets you can bypass SSL errors. Firefox makes it impossible to bypass SSL errors if the site uses HSTS. So much for the browser for power users.

Is blatant misoginy not a good enough reason to downvote?

The poster above is claiming that women are more easily influenced by social pressure to vote against their interests. This is blatant and unacceptable misoginy.

It is not unacceptable to say that people of different sexes behave differently. That is dismissive and also anti-science.

Very wishful thinking, but could this be an impetus for quality political education at a younger age? E.g. how to reason about issues, think critically, fact check, verify past outcomes, etc. That could have positive effects on all age groups.

That’s not wishful, that’s straight delusional.
