Chrome and the “Not secure” Message in the address bar

by @ 5:03 am on 8/14/2018. Filed under general

I have received some emails asking why this blog is considered insecure by Chrome.

This is a new configuration from the latest version of Chrome to mark any website that isn’t using HTTPS: / SSL Encryption as insecure. Nothing has changed from my end, the site isn’t suddenly insecure. It is the same as it has always been, now Chrome is trying to help people more clearly realize they shouldn’t feed credit card numbers etc into pages that aren’t encrypted. Sites that are just displaying information such as my blog and website do not ask for anything critical from you so it isn’t really all that bad with the exception that your provider could insert HTML into the page if they like such as ads or a notice that you are going to go over your bandwidth for the month or something.

Anyway, I am working with my provider to get certs in place so I can provide HTTPS: so people will feel better when it doesn’t say “Not secure”.
