YT Mag Site unsafe

[hanovertom]

Does anyone else get the message that this site is not safe when using CHROME?

 

[Mike(NEOhio)]

Never used Chrome. When I first tried it seemed like it was all about shopping. Stayed away ever since.

 

[MJMJ]

Chrome is a browser, has nothing to do with shopping. Not sure what that means.

I use Chrome on my phone. I dont get any warnings.

 

[Richard G.]

Try Firefox.
Been using it for many years.

 

[M-MAN]

No.

 

[Butch(OH)]

I have gotten that message a few times and it almost always will come up if I try again.T byry dumping your internet catche to see if that helps.

 

[Stephen Newell]

No, but there is other sites I try to get on that I have to try 6-8 times before it will get to a point where I can tell it to load anyway. The worst is a conservative news site. I suspect chrome is trying to restrict the sites you go to.

 

[MarkB_MI]

You should be using yesterdaystractors.com, not ytmag.com.

Yup. 100% correct.

Chrome is a google product. Get rid of it. Use Firefox.
Stop using google search. Use Duckduckgo.
Google is evil.

 

[Richard G.]

That is exactly what I do.

It's much more likely those sites' owners are too cheap to keep their servers up to date with the latest HTTPS protocols. They should be using TLS 1.3, but some sites are still on TLS 1.2 or even 1.1 or 1.0. Those earlier versions have been cracked for years and are unsafe to use, which is why many browsers refuse to connect to sites that still use them.

YT is currently running TLS 1.2, which should work with Chrome.

Lol........

 

[Mule Meat]

No. I would not use Chrome or Firefox if you paid me. I do not need google and the like tracking everything I do.

Duck duck go is the only browser that I will use. They block trackers like google.

Do you use a cell phone?

 

[Mule Meat]

Yes they have Duckduckgo for phones and PCs. Been using it for years on both and wouldn't use anything else.

The B+ is the site security and privacy rating. B up to A are very good ratings.

One other thing about Duck. You get done on the web. Just click the flame symbol and everything is cleaned. History cache, data etc. It will not remove saved pages, bookmarks and such. So they are safe.

Why? ytmag forwards to yesterdaystractors.com

 

[Bruce(OR)]

This site gave the computer a virus once.
A bit of a pain but a disc clean up and defrag got rid of it.
If Chrome say's it has a problem, I tend to believe it.

 

[Geo-TH,In]

my android phone used chrome.
My tablet is a chrome lenovo.

NO problem.
I'm betting it's not YT problem, It's usually a link you open that has the virus.

 

[MarkB_MI]

> Why? ytmag forwards to yesterdaystractors.com

Yes it does, but the OP was getting security errors. Going straight to yesterdaystractors.com just eliminates the possibility that ytmag.com is the cause of his problems.

I doubt it.

 

[Bruce(OR)]

I back tracked it.
Guess where it came from!?
Bazinga!
