Im getting "your connection is unsecure" on many pages although the "S" is there as in HTTP"S".
You know how sometimes you get "proceed (unsafe)" you can click it and proceed? but sometimes this option is not even available. In which case I found a hack. I dunno why it works. You type thisisunsafe and hit enter. This allows me to bypass the error and go to the page but it's bogus. I dunno why this is necessary when the page says https? They are normal pages too not like nuclear weapons pages you know?
Any suggestions would be great thanks.

OS 10.11.6

@223mc HTTPS protocol itself is not a guarantee that the page is secure.

Regarding the Go to the page anyway option, I guess it's available depending on how severe the lack of security is.

Recently a major certificate has expired, affecting several sites and OS. So make sure yours is up to date.

@leocg thanks. Its happening on many pages. On my own website, I know the certificate is up to date but I still get the error.

@223mc When you click on Help me understand, what does it say about the security error?

@leocg sometimes it gives me the option;

"proceed (unsafe)"

but other times it will not even give me that option and must use the "hack" mentioned above.

@223mc Strange, it should show you what is happening and why the message is being displayed.
