No issues in GA with Charter.
Do you uptalk? Is every sentence a question?
I doubt they are blocking anyone intentionally.
My guess is that somewhere a server is re-propagating. Charter doesnt care about FR. Charter, unfortunately, doesnt care about anyone.
I doubt that Spectrum is explicitly blocking your access to FR, at least not yet. Using a VPN at all times is good internet “hygiene”, but be careful about free VPNs. They are worse than your ISP in terms of violating your privacy. Use a good paid service like PIA or NordVPN.
Reboot. That’s what the nerds always tell me, right after the question, “What did you do?”

Reboot and select the SECURE button
Thanks!! I’ve been on FR for over 21 years, and never saw the Not Secure term until recently. I figured it was caused by one of Safari’s updates.
Im using charter/spectrum here in Simpsonville, SC. No problems at all with FR.
Sure thing. The “not secure” message is a newish feature that most browsers have adopted since most websites nowadays are secure (i.e. they have an https URL) and info security is more of a thing. If you happen to visit a non-secure http website the browser will notice it and let you know.
Charlotte Spectrum here also. Everything seems to be
