Like in the past I was able to save the cpanel and WHM URLs as safe sites, but they no longer allow that. Like it's almost as though they're getting hostile towards the self-signed certificate websites putting up a huge warning that it is unsafe to proceed. It's totally annoying how overly protective the mainline browsers are getting with self-signed certificates. Hopefully they won't block those eventually.
Oh, you can be 100% sure they are getting hostile towards self signed and not encrypted websites. They keep adding more and more warnings regarding this with like almost every major version upgrade. The future will be worse. Chrome already marks normal HTTP sites as completely insecure and on normal SSL sites it doesn't even show the green lock anymore.
The reasons are a bit understandable though. They're pushing the use of encryption a lot to make the web more secure for information. With Let's Encrypt you can get a wildcard certificate for gratis. With automatic certificate renewal configure and so on you never have to worry about expiration of the certificates or similar.
Speaking about "I was able to save the cpanel and WHM URLs as safe sites, but they no longer allow that.". I can still do that on the newest Firefox. It allows to add temporary exceptions or you can add the exception as permanent and in that case it will download the SSL certificate of the site into the user certificate storage of your browser profile.
