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.
- Open Chrome, type chrome://flags in the address bar, then press “Enter“.
- Type the word “secure” in the search box at the top to make it easier to find the setting we need.
- 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.
- Select the “Relaunch Chrome” button, and Chrome should no longer warn you of “Not Secure” web pages.

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.
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
David says
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.

chrome://flags/#legacy-tls-enforced
Tony says
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
KenDecker says
My pages open, but they still show a banner at the top, [(!) Not Secure], I don’t need to see this.
Stacy says

Doesn’t work. The only workaround I’ve found is installing the “HTTPS Everywhere” extension.
Rodney Coelho says
Did not work for me!
Victor says
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
MIchael says
did not work at all. tried and disabled every optin in the secure-search. nothing helped…
ZAW says
No.. the site is still showing as unsecure!
Simon says
I found a solution that works on the sites I’ve visited so far. Install the Chrome add-on, HTTPS Everywhere.

It will start the website, but it won’t load
