Chrome: Enable/Disable “Not Secure” Warning

Chrome: Enable/Disable “Not Secure” Warning

By Mitch Bartlett 44 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.

    Why should Chrome make it hard for its users to visit websites of their choice. I have tried and failed. Perhaps its time to get other browsers?

    Did not work. Following directions but no option listed as mark non-secure origins as not-secure so can’t disable. This is coming up on sites that I know are secure and have been using for years and a few days ago started coming up as not secure. How do I disable this to be able to fully and easily access known websites?

    I tried this and it didn’t work. I very quickly changed back to default as I don’t want it to mess up my phone but this option doesn’t work

    I came looking for a solution for this as i experienced it with a brand new windows 10 VM installation.(vmware).
    ALL websites was marked as not secure.
    Eventually i found out that the VM network was NAT’ed and notbridged.
    When i changed it to briged everything went back to normal.
    Dont know if this is of any relevance to any of you.

    I keep having this and can’t even open any website, even with a different browser. Problem seems to be ever since I had a malware issue. I’m thinking it’s due to changes made by the malware. Removed the virus but still nothing works.

  13. Gaye Fern says

    The problem seems to be with the browser itself, not the individual websites, Chrome is now showing this on EVERY website I visit, even my own which has up to date SSL, the problem is with the browser and Google don’t seem to want to know about it…a major issue

    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.

    @Tony says July 24, 2020 at 1:29 pm

    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.

    chrome://flags/#legacy-tls-enforced

  18. Tony says

    July 24, 2020 at 1:29 pm

    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

    My pages open, but they still show a banner at the top, [(!) Not Secure], I don’t need to see this.

    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

  34. MIchael says

    did not work at all. tried and disabled every optin in the secure-search. nothing helped…

    No.. the site is still showing as unsecure!

    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

  40. 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.
