This blog explains how to save SSL certificate in chrome and firefox. But I can not following it (my os is Mac). I am not sure if this is because of the difference between mac and windows. Could anybody show me how to save SSL certificate on Mac?

The interfaces are a little different in the macOS versions.

In Safari:

  1. Click the padlock icon in the URL bar
  2. Click the Show Certificate button in the dialog that appears
  3. Click on the certificate icon, and drag it to a Finder window (or the Desktop)

In Google Chrome:

  1. Click the padlock icon in the URL bar
  2. If the dialog that appears has a "Connection is secure" line, click on that
  3. Click the "Certificate is valid" or "Certificate (Valid)" area in the dialog
  4. If there is a certificate icon, and drag that to a Finder window (or the Desktop); if there isn't an icon, select the Details tab, then click Export.

In Firefox:

  1. Click the padlock icon in the URL bar
  2. Click the "Show connection details" (right-arrow) button to the right of "Connection secure" in the dialog that appears
  3. Click the "More information" area
  4. Under the Security tab, click the "View Certificate" button
  5. A "about:certificate?cert=..." browser tab will open; scroll down to the Miscellaneous section
  6. In the "Download" line, click "PEM (cert)" to save the site's leaf certificate to your Downloads folder, or "PEM (chain)" to save the entire trust chain
