i dont think you understand how this works. they install a root certicicate on your machine and do mitm "attack" so they can scan the urls, and block some attacks (i remember when some forum had embeded a pdf, that had some attack and antivirus blocked it )

also you have installed an application that has a root acces to the pc, if it was mallicius it could do allot more damage. it is ultimately a question of trust.

i created and installed my own root certificate because i dont want clicking on the exception if i open a new incognito window, its especialy anoying for websocket connections.
