Apologies for offtopic (this might be mildly ontopic about the current
state of crypto in open source).

Would someone please check if links2 and elinks verify certificates on
fresh install of Debian 8?

To verify, try to open site which doesn't properly chain to trusted
root, say https://cacert.org (unless you trust their root ) and check
if it opens or there is error/warning.

For me, on updated system, both don't verify certificates.

Looks like at least ubuntu and fedora killed the elinks bug long ago.

Searching the web for "$browser self signed certificate" shows some
relevant results.
