I'm aware, but you led with Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, so it sounded like browser support was the point, so I was curious what the use-case was.

That's still cool though. I personally would've just use Python, since that's generally available everywhere I'd want to run something like this (though Python's built-in HTTP lib isn't nearly as nice as JS's fetch(), I'd want requests).

I have just dumped code into a Chrome console and saved a cert while in a pinch. It's not best practices of course, but when you need something fast for one-time use, it's nice to have something immediately available.

You could make your own webpage that works in the browser (no backend) and make a cert. I haven't published anything publicly because you really shouldn't dump private keys in unknown websites, but nothing is stopping you from making your own.

Any machine I'm on has Python installed, so that's my go-to.
