Did you know this site was dangerous?

I don't remember seeing that little red triangle before but maybe I didn't notice it. Tonight I see it very distinctly right next to the I hovered above the triangle with my Note pen and saw the warning. It says this page is dangerous so I clicked to try to find out why. Just as I suspected its Chrome trying to make everybody get a secure page. I already knew it wasn't a secure page and that I shouldn't enter any data that I wouldn't want public on this site. I suppose all my blogs but one will now get 1 of those little red triangles in the address bar. I hope it doesn't scare people off.
When you see that warning does it make you want to leave a site? If not what does make you want to leave a site?

The only time I would worry is when my anti virus software warns me

@bagarad Discussions have been made on this issue earlier and I have not taken that sign seriously. As you can see our data has so far remained safe. Anyway we hardly give out any sensitive information

@allknowing That's why Chrome shouldn't be scaring people away from any site with no certificate unless it is collecting sensitive information.

We discussed about this, the warning comes because the site has not switched from the HTTP protocol to HTTPS, it's not "dangerous", it's simply "NOT secured". As we do not give our sensible details here (credit card number and so on), there is no need of a HTTPS site.

I've never seen such a warning when I open mylot but I'm using safari and not chrome.

@bagarad I'm not sure. But there are sites that safari warns me as well. Mylot is just not one of them.

I ignore that on most sites. I would only worry if it was a site that I was shopping or banking on.

Exactly. But many internet newbies haven't learned this yet. I remember when I was a newbie on Facebook and those warnings would come about various fake threats that we should warn all our friends about. Then a friend who was technically savvy explained how to know if these are valid emails.

@bagarad It has been a learning experience for all of us. But many of the new users now have always seen the internet being used at least. So have a lot more knowledge than we did when they finally have stuff like that to enter.

Most of the bloggers I know don't have security certificates, either. I finally got one when I started my new blog, but I don't collect personal information or money from anyone, so I don't see why I need one except to keep from having those warnings scare people away.
