Feat. Req.: can WebBrowserWidget please possibly have a preference or setting to Ignore self-signed cert warnings in QtWebEngine re: ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

I can’t seem to get past a secure cert warning inside the Web Browser Widget added with

after entering Edit Mode and clicking Add or Manage Widgets etc.

Was hoping to add a widget to my desktop of a web browser view of an Intranet / LAN only page at private IP 192.168.1.6 currently with a self signed certificate warning blocking the display with: h t t p s : / / f r i g a t e . f u n k . n z / # S 8

This site can’t be reached

The web page at h t t p s : / / f r i g a t e . f u n k . n z / # S 8 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

I realise this is normal not a bug. Note I’ve actually got a fully qualified NS record pointing to a private IP which is not best practice. I’ve not stood up a Let’s Encrypt as I’m not ready to expose the machine to the badness until I have my firewall running better. The browser should be accessing on this IP below.

frigate.funk.nz. 60 IN CNAME cloudpanel.funk.nz.
cloudpanel.funk.nz. 60 IN A 192.168.1.6

It would be good to swap QtWebEngine for Chrome/Firefox or allow QT Web Engine to remember clicking through the warning. I can’t even clck through it.
