Sounds like the right place to look is the chromium commit log…
I use it so infrequently that is how I find it when I forget the exact phrasing.
Failing an explicit keypress sequence, maybe a userscript that can do the
var certificateErrorPageController;
if (window.certificateErrorPageController) {
certificateErrorPageController.proceed();
}
If it says the certificate for your bank is expired, you need to stop. If it says the certificate for the 10 year old public blog post that was linked by a 5 year old Reddit post as describing the solution to your problem, that should not matter, and you just want to read the non-secret contents of whatever is on that page regardless of whether the site's maintainer turned on HTTP to HTTPS redirects and then neglected to renew the certificate.
And people understand this, and people are rightfully going to devise workarounds for the second case, and it's ridiculous to expect them to not.
