Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a bug in Cursor 2.0.38’s browser tab feature. We’ve seen a similar report here: Cursor 2.0 In app browser is not opening website

Could you please share:

  • A screenshot of the certificate error you’re seeing
  • Whether this affects HTTP localhost or only HTTPS

In the meantime, I’ll pass this to the team. As a temporary workaround, you may need to use an external browser for local development until this is fixed.

I think it has something to do with the expiration of the certificate.

Thanks for the screenshot. This confirms the certificate issue we’re tracking.

Good news, fixes for the browser tab issues are already available in version 2.0.43. Please update and let me know if the issue persists.

Thank you for your quick support. I haven’t seen the latest(2.0.43) download address in official website. Please send it to me!!

This version isn’t available for direct download yet, but you can install the update from Cursor.

Go to Cursor → Check for Updates
Or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) and search for “Attempt Update”

I’m with cursor 2.0.43 and I’m still with the same issue can’t trust manually the site.

Same here, I’d love to manually aprove the site or put the .exe with flags to ignore the certificate issue

This will be resolved today! You will have an option to trust it.
