On Windows you achieve this using F5 resp. Ctrl-F5 (if you want to ignore the cache on purpose).
On MacOS that’s a little more complicated. Look it up on the page quoted above!

Google Chrome reports NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID for a website and does not display it for you – how to overcome?

- if you do trust that site, type “badidea” resp. “thisisunsafe” directly in chrome on the same page and Chrome will load the page! (“this is unsafe”, but without the spaces in between)
- I am sort of breathless and outraged considering they keep me from displaying pages, that I want to display.

the Firefox setting “browser.display.use_document_colors”
Up until now, I have never heard of this setting, nevertheless it had gotten toggled a while ago. It had made me a little nervous during the last couple of weeks.
How I solved the issue:
- searched the web for “Firefox ignores stylesheets“,
- too many hits of course …,
- found a hint pointing to PrefBar,
- installed the Firefox Add-on by the name of PrefBar,
- toggled the Colors check box on that tool bar,
- which surprisingly did, what I had not expected.
But that did not reveil me, which Firefox setting was involved.- So I launched about:config,
- filtered by “color“,
- toggled the Colors check box another couple of times on PrefBar,
- until I finally got aware of browser.display.use_document_colors changing its value simultaneously.
I have no idea, how this setting had gotten toggled a couple of weeks ago. Now everything is fine again.
What a wicked little thing!!
I am really relieved, this got finally solved.
