Is the Linux version of Chrome/Chromium ever going to get a graphical way to install a self-signed certificate? On Windows and OS X the system dialogs are used. There isn't a system dialog for most flavours of Linux and I'm not sure we are going to see one any time soon. If one does want to import a certificate on Chrome/Chomium, you have to edit Chrome's/Chromium's NSS DB manually. That document alludes to the idea that if there were a system certificate interface, Chrome might use it. Is that pretty much the only way this would happen or is it something that could be contributed?

Click on "Manage Certificates" here. Brings up the UX for importing a certificate. Works fine for me on Ubuntu 15.04. Does this not work for you? Or are you looking for something else?

Sweet. It looks like that wiki page isn't editable by the public. Any one I can talk to about getting it updated?

I just updated the wiki page to let people know about the new manager.
