If you’ve visited a encrypted site, for which Google Chrome showed a shield icon in the address bar with warning ‘This page is trying to load scripts from unauthenticated sources’ with Load unsafe scripts option, what do you do? FYI, those insecure scripts not served from HTTPS could be ads or trackers loaded from elsewhere, if without loading those, the site that is secure and has a green lock shown by the browser in the address bar may still work well.
Is It OK to load Unsafe Scripts in Chrome?
To know the connection established by Chrome browser to the website was really secure, click on the lock icon and click more ‘Details’ next to ‘your connection to the site is private’, Security Overview panel opens in developer tools and shows the following security information for the site.

If the security panel shows ‘This page is secure (valid HTTPS)‘ message, and all green for the valid certificate, secure TLS connection and secure resources, then no doubt the information you’re going to enter or provided is private.
In the panel below, the console reveals the insecure content Chrome has prevented from loading, you can notice the error like this: ‘The page at URL was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure script from a URL (different than site URL). This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS’.
To override the alert, you can load unsafe scripts (not recommended), then Chrome reloads the page and content, including insecure content, you can notice the address bar at the top then will show https:// crossed out in red.
how to solve this problem pls tell me
Its not a problem, Chrome alerting you the site is fully not secure and this alert warns from entering credit card information or such sensitive info on that site, you can continue to browse that site without loading scripts or stop visiting that site.
Why is it showing up on EVERY site and how it’s affecting what I send too
May be the sites you’re visiting are less secure, do one thing, either don’t visit them or trust and don’t fill the data on those.
I have been trying to access my Gmail but I keep receiving the same type of error. What the heck, Chrome, should you not load this up without any problem?!
@eswarlu
It it a problem, cause in business it’s not that uncommon that you have web tools loading scripts from other servers, which are not served over HTTPS. If you know the source is in your own intranet and you trust it, why doesn’t Chrome give me a “Don’t display this warning, I trust this source forever” option?
I’m a technician and I know what I do, so make the browser business aware and give me advanced granular options where I can control such stuff instead of being patronized.
