Tab title should be "Privacy risk" instead of "Privacy error" on unsafe websites
For example, go to chromium.com and test it out: the actual google site is chromium.org, so don't be on the wrong track...
I think "Privacy risk" is better, and instead of an "x" on top of the folded :page_facing_up:, there should be a red warning sign on top of the folded paper. The x is only supposed to be for unloadable sites IMO.
so here is the answer to your post:
Chromium's (browser) website is this: https://www.chromium.org/
this domain belongs to someone else, not Google: www.chromium.com (notice there is no https)
the error only appears when you type "https://" before "www.chromium.com"
and that is wrong. then the browser checks the certificate and gives you a certificate error. it has nothing to do with privacy.
the certificate used in https://www.solomomo.com only works with that domain. it isn't for https://chromium.com
and that's why you get a certificate error.
- Thanks for explaining!
P.S. I'm not marking your answer as "Best Response" because my post is about an idea, not a problem.- You're welcome,
that's okay, but the example in your post isn't the right one for your idea because of what I described above.
what you were seeing is simply a user mistake. (adding https to a domain that does not have a certificate)
so another example, specially a reproducible one, would be better 🙂
