How to configure Chrome to ignore SSL warning on specific URLs?

I guess there no need to introduce the "Privacy error" page in Chrome that appears whenever one uses SSL to access an uncertified website that has no signed certificate (red "X" on the lock icon).

I use SSL to access numerous personal locations which I vouch for and know for a fact they're OK (they're mine). Since I'm visiting those location more than once a day, I'm forced to go through two clicks before I enter the website and that's tedious.

Is there a way add an "exception" specifically for this matter, for specific websites (a white list essentially)? Any other way of achieving this is of course more than welcome.


Another quick option to get past this is to type in Chrome's "interstitial bypass keyword" whilst the offending page has focus. At the time of writing, this is thisisunsafe (but it has changed in the past and may do so in future).

The usual caveats apply - only use it if you know what you're doing. More detailed info is in the links below:-

I don't believe there is per-website setting that specific in Chrome.

If you have, or can get an SSL certificate, you may be able to copy your certificate directly into Chrome's certificate store, and mark it as Trusted Root. Navigate to "Settings > Advanced > HTTPS/SSL > Manage Certificates..." to import it. See Getting Chrome to accept self-signed localhost certificate for more information about how to do this.

Alternatively, you can try to add the site to your Trusted Sites list (located in "Control Panel > Internet Options > Security tab") which may alleviate the error. Be sure to untick the "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone" checkbox.


You must create a self-signed certificate, and have the SAN (Subject Alternative Name) element configured within the certificate for the appropriate server name. Then import the certificate into Chrome, giving it "Trusted" status. Without the SAN element configured properly, errors will still occur.
