Chrome: Enable/Disable “Not Secure” Warning

Chrome: Enable/Disable “Not Secure” Warning

By Mitch Bartlett 31 Comments

Google Chrome now warns users if they are visiting a page that is not protected via HTTPS as “Not Secure”. If you don’t like this behavior, you can disable it with the following steps.

  1. Open Chrome, type chrome://flags in the address bar, then press “Enter“.
  2. Type the word “secure” in the search box at the top to make it easier to find the setting we need.
  3. Scroll down to the “Mark non-secure origins as non-secure” setting and change it to “Disabled” to turn off the “Not Secure” warnings. To turn on the warnings, the other “Enabled” or “Default” settings can be used.
  4. Select the “Relaunch Chrome” button, and Chrome should no longer warn you of “Not Secure” web pages.

    Type “thisisunsafe” (without the quotes) anywhere on the screen to bypass. Recommend only doing on local network sites that you trust.

    Doesn’t work for me any longer. No matter how many times I try, the “not secure” keeps coming back – so it looks to me like Chrome is changing my settings.

    Because it gives this message on sites that are most definitely “secure” – such as my bank, Paypal, government sites – and because there should still be an option to “proceed anyway” as I am perfectly capable of deciding what risks I am willing to take online. I don’t need or want anyone, or thing, deciding what I should or should not do.

    Ummmm….why would anyone disable this flag.? It puts you at greater risk. You should not go to sites that don’t at minimum use TLS1..2. Period. Any business that has not upgraded is Negligent negligent

    Doesn’t work. The only workaround I’ve found is installing the “HTTPS Everywhere” extension.

    Did not work. Bidding Site still shows “Not secure”, but Chrome allows me to browse the site. But when I try to enter a bid into the site, the “Not Secure” turns red, it allows me to enter the bid, but when I try to submit the bid, all I get is the never-ending in process symbol in the Chrome tab

    I found a solution that works on the sites I’ve visited so far. Install the Chrome add-on, HTTPS Everywhere.

    Same here… I created a dev subdomain without ssl, the www has ssl but not “dev.”.. now when I open dev in chrome, I see the error, ok cool.. but I could always proceed anyway… now this option is gone??

    I did this and it doesn’t help my problem
    I want to access a website but on the adress bar (on the left) it says Not sequre and crosses the https out.
    It will start the website, but it won’t load

  27. Marni says

    April 3, 2019 at 2:59 pm

    The steps were followed but no changes in accessing the NOT SECURE site I need to access.
