How to get Chrome to allow mixed content?

Question

Chrome browser by default is blocking mixed content. How do I adjust my settings/configuration to allow mixed content without making any adjustments on the UI every time?

I have found two solutions but neither of them work:

1. Several articles say you can adjust this under the Security section of "Under the Hood" in the Options. This option no longer seems to exist. There is no Under The Hood tab and there is no such dropdown to adjust how Chrome handles mixed content as far as I can tell.
2. Another option is to add the --allow-running-insecure-content flag to your command line. I did this like so: "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --allow-running-insecure-content. However this made no difference. If I tried adding the flag inside the double quotes, then Windows complains saying it is invalid.

So what option do I have now with the latest version of Chrome?

Answer 1

In Windows open the Run window (Win + R):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe  --allow-running-insecure-content 

In OS-X Terminal.app run the following command ⌘+space:

open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app --args --allow-running-insecure-content 

Note: You seem to be able to add the argument --allow-running-insecure-content to bypass this for development. But its not a recommended solution.

Answer 2

Steps as of Chrome v91 (6/17/2021):

1. Click the Not secure warning next to the URL

2. Click Site settings on the popup box

3. Near the bottom of the list is Insecure content, change this to Allow

4. Close settings, go back to the site, and Refresh the page

In the address bar at the right end should be a 'shield' icon, you can click on that to run insecure content.

This worked for me in Chromium-dev Version 36.0.1933.0 (262849).
