Self-signed root certificate is still not valid

Question

I want to test my website in Mac with localhost.

I followed this step to generate localhost.crt and localhost.key. Then, I double-clicked localhost.crt to insert it in System of Keychains and then set Always Trust.

Then, I launched the website in Chrome. I still see Your connection to this site is not secure and Certificate (Invalid).

Does anyone know how to fix this?

@Rob I get your point, but could you just stop commenting the same thing on all my SO questions? Otherwise, I will flag that... — SoftTimur, Mar 20 '20 at 01:17
Didn't notice it was all you. It's just an auto-generated list of vote closures in the list given to me. — Rob, Mar 20 '20 at 01:18
Then you should fix that cause it's up for closure for that reason. — Rob, Mar 20 '20 at 01:20

The message indicates that the browser didn’t accept the certificate and can happen when you got the wrong domain, the certificate expired (not your case) or the browser doesn't recognize the certificate authority from where the certificate came from (most likely that's the case).

When creating a self signed SSL certificate, the browser (Firefox) can also return

Invalid Certification Authority

And the Chrome can say

Not secure

This is fine since one uses a self-signed certificate.
