Does TOFU actually work?

It seems there also is an issue with my browser's UI: the warning color
on the security icon matched the primary color of the built-in theme I
am using:
https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange/issues/72#issuecomment-735268218
I didn't notice that Lagrange was actually warning me about the changed
certificate.
Gemini spec says (4.2):
> If the certificate is not the one previously received, but the
previous certificate's expiry date has not passed, the user is shown a
warning, analogous to the one web browser users are shown when receiving
a certificate without a signature chain leading to a trusted CA.
I think we would all benefit if someone went through the known browsers,
checked how they implement this and published the results.
