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.

P.S. I'm not marking your answer as "Best Response" because my post is about an idea, not a problem.- HotCakeXDec 18, 2020MVPYou'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 🙂
