You might not break the current internet but its future.

Example: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=917829

How do you intend to solve this? ie the case of an entity that just
cannot have valid certificates and/or implements a secure protocol on
top of an insecure one (ws here for Peersm project, the other party can
be by design a "MITM" but we completely don't care per the secure
protocol used, the MITM will not know what happens next)?

Like WebRTC too, but there is an exception for that one, self-signed
certificates are (by some luck) accepted.

It's obvious that browsers will be used for new services involving those
mechanisms in the future, like P2P systems as sketched here:
