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.

Flag didn’t work, but switching off “Use secure DNS” and “Always use secure connections” in chrome security settings finally did the trick.
Elizabeth says
stop Chrome from not allowing me onto pages they say are not secure.
WILLIAM M. says
I don’t know when this was published but the option is no longer available in chrome
Zoro says

Karthik says
@Fred Schmidt, If you are trying to allow for localhost, there is a section called “Allow invalid certificates for resources loaded from localhost.” – You can enable it and proceed. That worked for me. Thank you Mitch!!
Fred Schmidt says
Did not work as I never found search of manage nonsecure as nonsecure.
Michelle DePrima says
Two thumbs up!! Thank you! Didn’t find this anywhere else.

Why google have to take control of I do with my personal device in private space? I can’t brows and watch anything that I like. I tried the above step but not working, Can some help me to get rid of the not secure in WWW and let me to move on?
Delight Ila says
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?
Niamh says
Thanks David – typing thisisnotsafe worked for me and allowed me into the website
Kimberly cate says

bucho says
This option doesn’t even exist… Maybe update for 2021?
Tim LEA says
Excellent advice it worked like a dream for me. Thank you.
Peggy Poole says
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?
Abby says
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
MrMarius says
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.
Mike says
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.
Divakar Ray says
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.
N says
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
I did it but it still says not secure to the website and links to I want to click on.

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.
