Neat setup but exercise caution with the root-cert (I guess cert pinning isn't a thing on Browsers, yet?).

I use ghostarchive.org to view YouTube videos (that fit its limits), nitter.net for twitter threads, and archive.is for reddit threads.

Locally installed root certificates override HSTS. Some regulated industries like banking are legally obligated to unwrap all TLS traffic, so locally installed roots allow for that.
