Mine has said that for months. I just happened to notice it.
It doesn’t change the function any.
This may be a little trick to scare newer people from staying on this site. “Oh Oh! You better be careful!! I wouldn’t go THERE if I were you!”
If you click on the little i in a circle in chrome address bar, it tells you that you may not want to put sensitive information (bank accounts, payment info, passwords, etc.). Since we do not post that type of info on the page, it doesn’t matter that it isn’t secure.
Do we really care if public pages (like FR) are encrypted ?
The world has recently become anal about ‘secure pages’.
To me, its about con-ning you into buying newer p.c.s, updating browsers, buying more memory.
Text is text, one byte per character, its not rocket science.
Google is down-listing sites that aren’t secure and coopting the industry into going anal about security protocols, its a plague if you ask me.
