Thank god they're fixing this. Can't wait for Java to also pick up third party certificates. Every time I install my personal CA certificate I need to go through every application and do the special certificate dance (in the case of Electron, modifying the launch arguments) because every application is opinionated about what certificates it should trust for some stupid reason.

Every OS has an API for this, why should I need to go into the special super secret debug settings to tell an application "trust the system you're running on and use the damn API already".
