Importing the Burp certificate in Microsoft IE and Google Chrome

Google Chrome uses the same certificate store as Microsoft Internet Explorer. Adding the certificate from either one of them is enough for us. Since IE is almost always installed by default, let's install the certificate in that first:

4. Navigate to https://burp to confirm that the certificate is installed correctly and working fine.
