Hey there guys i am using facebook for over 3 years but however since last week, im getting an error or something like that in Chrome as :

*lh5.googleusercontent.com/-D9OS4hLYVKY/Tq0ferkRydI/AAAAAAAAACE/_4mPY-RBk-s/s616/Untitled.png

and if i press "Load Anyway" button, the https is removed as:

Is this thing alright?

Couple of things:

- If a page is delivered via https, Chrome now doesn't load any files which are not being served via https & shows a warning
- Facebook is serving some files over a plain http connection when you're logged in via https

Hence Chrome is asking if you want to enable the insecure content (by insecure: it means the files being delivered over http instead of https - it need not mean that the contents are actually insecure).

It _should_ be fine, if you're not certain, just check via view-source which are the insure contents

On what basis did you said that? I had activated https mode through account settings more than a month ago, but getting this error just from today. :-?

^^You're browsing with an invalid SSL certificate. That means the data you send and receive is being encrypted, but Chrome can't be sure the other party is who they say they are beasuse the security certificate isn't installed in ur computer

When you first come across a site / certificate with this problem Chrome will ask you if you want to continue. You have chosen to continue and ignored the warning then that error will occur

No - if he were to browse with an invalid certi, he'd run into the error posted by you.

This is because as I mentioned:

Some contents being delivered over an insecure line on an mostly secure page.

It happens with me on Chromium too. But I choose Don't Load.
Doesn't look any different when I let load anyway...

^^ Yeah, and that's why it doesn't matter what we select. So to be safe, I think, best would be to, select "Don't Load"!

^^ So you think, Chrome / Chromium is less safe then Mozilla! :|
Anyway, to stop our pursuit with the off-topic posts, I won't argue.

:facepalm:

(PS: Firefox doesn't block insecure content by default, that's why you don't get that message).
