If anyone came here developing chrome extensions: I found [this google groups discussion](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-extensions/adA6Asn1QC4) while googling, for anyone that turns up here. I'm going to just add the certificate to the trusted store on my machine while testing. Also take a look at [this chrome.* api **for chrome OS only**](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/enterprise_platformKeys), or the [dev chrome.* api](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/platformKeys). – Tqn Jul 11 '15 at 14:57

I'm only making this comment based on the fact that no answer was provided. Assuming that it's not possible, it would be very easy to get a legit certificate using LetsEncrypt - https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/ – Oliver Williams Feb 23 '22 at 14:20
