Deceptive site ahead

I cannot access the forums any more, can only post, hope somebody fixes this, this could be due to an ad ? but I don't think the FR runs ads?

Deplorable Deceivers

... for a double dose of danger

[wastoute]

Used to be. We are an Italian Lawn Bowling forum as far as Soros cares anymore, and that’s a good thing.

On my mac mini using chrome browser, FR is marked
“DANGER! Not secure. Bull droppings. I can still get here. Many other - MOST other - Conservative sites are marked similarly.

I did notice Mom’s Basement has no such security warnings, even though just clicking in there can get you a few different STDs.

Yep, Google electioneering crock of poo.

FR is not a dangerous site.

It is secure login, if you choose that option.

[Mears]

I just got in twice with NO problem at all-—through Yahoo and Google.

[Texas Fossil]

I have no issue, but I default to duckduckgo.com for search engine. (except on my cell phone which does not allow that option.)

Deceptive Site. Who says? If it's a woman, it must be true.

[stylin19a]

any Chromium\Chrome browser may spit this warning.

you can turn off that red screen in chrome...

From Google Chrome Help

Turn off warnings about dangerous & deceptive sites

If you don't want to be warned about unsafe content, you can turn off deceptive and dangerous site

alerts. This also turns off download warnings.
We do not recommend turning off alerts.

On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top right, click More More and then Settings.
At the bottom, click Advanced.
Under "Privacy and security," turn off Protect you and your device from dangerous sites.

FWIW...a good while back, I turned it off without an issue. I don't like Google Chrome so I uninstalled it and now use "SlimJet". ( it's faster but still chrome like - Chromium) It has the same warning issue and I turned it off with no problems.

Again..it's just a warning... have fun...

I use brave browser and have no issues getting in. There is however an exclamation mark in the address box which says the site is insecure, and not to enter personal information, such as credit cards, because that information could be stolen.

The carrier and device type doesn’t matter, I get that warning, always.

It has to do with how your browser handles security issues on some sites.

Maybe it’s worth JR’s team taking a closer look at the sote’s security policy. Something may have been overlooked, or not entered properly.

[PrairieLady2]

Just a side note, Brave is a chromium based browser, but it’s not google chromium.

I also have a tor browser which uses firefox, and it DOES block many conservative sotes.

[monkeyshine]

You might have one of those anti-malware software that warn you about ‘suspicious sites’? If so you should be able to configure it to add safe sites. It could be a setting in your browser, too. If so, shame on google (or firefox) for listing FR as suspicious.

[No Socialist]

I get that same message for townhall.com when accessing from my Iphone.

[Pollard]

How are you blaming google? Are you using an andriod phone to access FR or maybe google's browser, chrome?

If you're using android, try the Opera Mini browser.
If you're using a computer, try the Brave browser or even firefox.

Other than that, google has no control over what parts of this site you can use.

The qanonposts.com thing makes me think you might have malware on your system. However, I just tried going to that site and got the bright red page saying Deceptive Site Ahead.

So ....... what site are you having problems with FR or qanonposts.com

If it's the latter, there's no reason to complain about it on FR.

Maybe I'm confused or maybe you're confused.

At any rate, I clicked "See details" on that warning page and then "Ignore the risk" and the site looks to be broken. Looks like it was a listing of Q drops at one time.

goggly doesn't have a problem with FR

[mass55th]

It must be because people post threads linked to fake news sites, ie., New York Times, Washington Post, The Hill, CNN...etc.

[Pollard]

If you truly got that red page for FR, it was a spoof page, not really google. That would be malware highjacking your browser most likely.

Thank God those days are over for me. I don’t do windows or mac. I run linux. My flavor of the month right now is Linux Mint running the KDE Plasma desktop.

Ah the good ole days of running malwarebytes and superantispyware, hoping one or the other would find the malware. It was so bad one time, I had to rename malwarebytes because the malware would look for the name and block it. Renaming it was a work around.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Sounds like a Google attempt at intimidation.

I have not seen it, using Windows 7 and IE 11

[mass55th]

People still use Google?

[bankwalker]

Maybe this is it:

SSL Certificates Saving the internet, one green lock at a time.

If you don’t have the little green lock from a trusted SSL certificate, Google Chrome will tag your site as Not Secure.

SSL message from GoDaddy

[Concentrate]

I am running Chrome.

NEVER run that or anything else but Firefox or Brave. EVER.

Go find out why. Do your homework.
