    TLS itself as well as browser enforcement are designed to protect against the same kind of threats on your home network as on public WiFi. It's assumed that the network link can be monitored and modified at will, so there shouldn't be a difference.
    My point is weakening those restrictions for "private" subnets will have much greater consequences than just your home network, and doing that because a power user can't or won't use a FQDN to access an internal network resource will have a much larger impact on regular users elsewhere.

    These should be automatically excluded from the strict TLS rules that browsers impose, especially the ones that give you no option to bypass their built-in blocking mechanisms.

    Cool, so when I'm at a coffee shop, and someone hijacks the DNS and redirects my bank's site to 192.168.0.3, doing a MITM with a self-signed cert, that should be accepted by the browser? It's OK because it's a private subnet!

    because they're all based on Intel's previous gen chips (Haswell).
