I have recently been getting a warning when accessing certain websites in Chrome. On the left hand side of the toolbar, I see an exclamation mark, and if I click on it I see the following message.


User uploaded file


This has started happening on websites that were previously okay up to about 2 weeks ago. To be clear, I am not prevented from accessing the page. I am using Chrome version 52.0.2743.116.


I'd be grateful for any advice.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), null

I'm having the same problem since installing OS X. Sites that I want to access - Audible.com - I can get to the homepage but am denied sign in. I've changed nothing else. I'm seeing a lot of warnings about security in the Navbar that were not there previously and see no method for allowing access.

If this is a bug, it needs fixing. I pay for Audible, I want to get on the site. For answer purposes: I'm a competent Mac user, I know how to trouble shoot and tried the obvious / standard fixes. The issues began the day I installed OS X.

You're arrogance is not helpful and I'd provide a screen cap that shows the same error message that the originator did but I suspect you'd find fault with that too.

You may call it arrogance but I call it trying to get you the best help to get your issue resolved. If you had done what I suggested you would have received the help you needed by now. Your description of your issue does not match the subject of this thread. By hijacking this thread you are interfering with the original poster's chance of getting the help he needs not to mention you are hindering getting the help you need.


You also will not get the best help in this thread since it is marked solved. Many helpers will just bypass this solved thread thereby not even seeing your problem .

You are not the only one experiencing this. I started noticing this for a week now on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari (well, Safari will have a lock sign for secured sites, and lack a lock sign for everything else) on sites that are NOT https. On SOME secured sites (with https), such as yahoo email, it shows it's partially unsecured (try clicking on emails you know has outside images such as walmart or best buy advertising emails). I clicked on the details to see why and it says because mixed content (including https) is trying to request or it's partially not secured because of images. Since it's happening across all browsers, I can only assume that it's normal, even though I just started noticing this recently. It's not like I never noticed it before though. Any time I see it's unsecured on sites I pay with, I just don't use it. Now it's on pretty much every site I visit that isn't https. So I assume it's normal.
