Why is Chrome reporting a secure / non secure warning when no other browsers aren't?

When I go to our web site through HTTPS mode, Chome is reporting an error saying that the page contains secure and not secure items. However, I used Firebug, Fiddler, and HttpDebuggerPro, all which are telling me that everything is going through HTTPS. Is this a bug in Chrome?

Sorry but I'm unable to give out the actual URL.

How do I get rid of Chrome not secure warning?

Open Chrome, type chrome://flags in the address bar, then press “Enter“. Type the word “secure” in the search box at the top to make it easier to find the setting we need. Scroll down to the “Mark non-secure origins as non-secure” setting and change it to “Disabled” to turn off the “Not Secure” warnings.

Why is there a security warning on Chrome?

This is due to an issue with security certificates, and many times is not the fault of your computer or your web browser at all. These certificates are what websites use to prove they are who they say they are on the internet, and if your browser detects an issue with a certificate, it will issue a warning.

Is the Google Chrome Protection Alert legitimate?

Always stay vigilant. "Users need to be aware that there are no legitimate warnings from a Chrome browser promoting a user to download a font," Schober warns. "Never download files from unknown sites, and don't visit unfamiliar domains, as hackers are targeting less known sites with vulnerabilities."

Why are websites all of a sudden not secure?

If you're using Google Chrome and you suddenly start seeing sites you usually visit labeled as “Not secure”, it's because Google wants to push site owners to use HTTPS, i.e., encrypt the traffic passing from their visitors to their servers and vice versa.

A bit late to the party here but I've been having issues recently and once I had found a http resource and changed it was still getting the red padlock symbol. When I closed the tab and opened a new one it changed to a green padlock so I guess Chrome caches this information for the lifetime of the tab

Current versions of Chrome will show the mixed content's URL in the error console. Hit CTRL+Shift+J and you'll see text like:

"The page at https://www.fiddler2.com/test/securepageinsecureimage.htm contains insecure content from http://www.fiddler2.com/Eric/images/me.jpg."
