> Windows doesn't have fine-grained permissions for adding to or changing certificate stores, though.

From quick testing, in a non-elevated prompt, I can edit my local users trust store, but not the machine wide one. In an elevated prompt, I'm allowed to edit both. Seems like there are different permissions for different stores to me. (I haven't tested if any browser considers the user store, if they don't it's not very relevant for this specific use case. If I remember right, which browser wants certificates presented how was kind of a hassle)
