Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My MacBook Pro is rejecting web pages because of certificate failure. I have a 2017 13" laptop that is failing me. Any thoughts?
surf to an example web page. click on the lock icon in the address bar, or if a message comes up, ask to see the certificate chain. This site as an example:

Thank you grant, I will look for this then next time I am denied. You've been very helpful. This is my first message board so I'm in a little over my head. My poor laptop has preformed perfectly until recently. I think too many software updates. Apple updates too often. thanks for helping
Certificate will be less baffling if you take a look at them from time-to-time, such as by clicking on the one for the Apple forums in your browser (not in an email, if that is how you are reading the responses).
Other common reasons for not opening a page are 'too many redirects' where one site forwards to another and another too many times.
If you type a web site NAME as the URL, the certificate MUST reference that web-site name, else It fails to be seen as valid and you get blocked and 'you may not be connecting to the web site you expected' messages. This is what you want to have happen, so that when you say "Apple" it goes to the genuine Apple, not something similar but not quite right.
what version MacOS?
has the battery been allowed to run down to Zero recently? is the date & time correct within five minutes?
Battery has not been to zero. Time is correct however I cannot see the (year) setting.

Thanks for sharing what you know, it’s a lost art these days.. Clearly I have a lot to learn. I’m a point and click kinda guy. Hopefully I can get there. Thank you for helping……J
