This is a very big problem for the GNOME stack, which uses gnutls. We're
getting complaints about sites that Epiphany can't display because the
CSS fails certificate validation, or sites that don't display at all,
which all work fine in Firefox.

Firefox also builds a repository of intermediate certificates over time and uses them automatically to fill gaps in certificate chains for completely unrelated sites. This leads to somewhat non-predictable behavior regarding the set of sites to which Firefox can connect reliably. This is difficult to emulate in one-shot command line tools such as wget which do not keep any local state by default.
