> Certificates aren't supposed to stop working just because they've expired!

Except TLS certs. That's the whole point of those certs having an expiration date in the first place.

TLS certificate expiration tells your browser to stop downloading new pages from that site. It doesn't tell your browser to close the page that's already been rendered and is still on-screen.

But you are making new requests to the Oculus api and that part is failing. You wouldn't expect the ajax requests to continue to work just because you left your browser open for years.

Cloud-based APIs aren't the only thing that's broken. Locally-installed code is being prevented from running.

It's more like you had your browser tab open, the certificate expired and now the page is completely and totally unresponsive and the browser has killed all javascript running on it.

It also won't let you refresh the page or close it since the certificate is expired.

And of course, those are meant to operate in this crazy interconnected madness.
