Exceptions are granted upon the domain not the page.

It's a simple choice between maintaining a temporary or permanent, per-domain
list of exceptions once a user chooses to ignore the cert error.
The QWebEnginePage::certificateError signal could be used to double check the
error type before the exception is created. It may simply be OK to put an
exception list check behind a bool which becomes true the very first time the
very first exception is granted or always if there is a permanent list.

Encouraging users to just grant cert exceptions for sites actually defeats the
purpose of ssl and should be very heavily discouraged. Thus there should be no
issues with incurring a small performance penalty for doing so IMO.

Using a valid cert for https is very important. Various reasons for doing so
exist and Google explain it quite well here:

Another way to solve the issue mentioned here is to prevent all exceptions. I'm
not advocating to do that but the issue should be dealt with, with absolutely
minimal work. Spending time supporting http without encryption is fairy counter
intuitive at this point in time.

Thanks.
