Trusting This Site

• If your browser shows “Not secure”, import MiniMost's certificate authority to fix it — this also lets the installed app hide the address bar.
• ⬇ Download certificate
• Chrome / Edge: open chrome://certificate-manager → Local certificates → Trusted Certificates → Import, choose the downloaded file, then restart the browser.
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Certificates → View Certificates… → Authorities → Import…, then tick Trust this CA to identify websites.
• You only need to do this once per device — the certificate renews itself automatically and never needs re-importing.

Status Indicators

• Active – Currently using the app
