Public bug reported:

When the browser displays a certificate error, it indicates the request
URL that the error originated from. This is fine. However, if the
navigation is content initiated then the addressbar will indicate the
URL of the currently committed page (which will be different to the URL
of the page causing the error, which is displayed in the error UI
provided by the browser).

I have an idea to fix this by navigating the webview to a placeholder
interstitial page whilst waiting for a response from the browser. This
will update the addressbar, keep the navigation history consistent and
also make the back button behave the same as Chrome.
