        driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

    }

Answer 1

The fix is as below:

1- download the browsermob-proxy certificate from the below link: https://github.com/lightbody/browsermob-proxy/blob/master/browsermob-core/src/main/resources/sslSupport/ca-certificate-rsa.cer

2- Open the Keychain Access utility in OS X.

• Select the System option on the left. Click the lock icon in the upper-left corner to enable changes.

• In the lower left, select the Certificates option.

• Drag the certificate you copied to the desktop into the list of certificates. After localhost gets added to the System keychain, double-click it to open it again. Expand the Trust section and for the first option, pick Always Trust.
