Your code will be less restricted if they are properly signed and accepted
by the user.

Go apply for a e-cert form your local CA, but this is NOT free.

There may be dirty/evil way to override this. But I don't think you'll want
it as they'll be browser dependent. And you won't get them useful here as
should anyone here post it, it'll be fixed quickly and you'll have to face
the problem again.
