You can install CA certs on current versions without being rooted. For Android 14 on a Pixel 6a:

Security & Privacy -> More Security & Privacy -> Encryption & credentials -> Install a certificate -> CA certificate

This works for Chrome and any app that uses the system cert store. I've used it for self-hosted services for several years. Don't know when it was first added.

Unfortunately this installs it as a user cert and only works for app that explicitly request it. To work everywhere you need to install it as a system cert which requires root

Interestingly ios (which is generally more locked down for dev stuff like this) allows users to install certs for all apps without jailbreak
