    For Firefox users who ARE COMFORTABLE with tweaking it, you can turn this new security feature off.

    You are on your own of course. I have done it here on my own computer, but honestly.... the few holdout sites that still do not use SSL should really get on the ball, and that includes sites like SRP. There really is no reason not to with the "Lets Encrypt" project.

    These warnings are coming from Russian hackers who want to promote other shaving forums by scaring people away from here. They know ours is the best and that you and I wouldn't fall for that nonsense. That's why we don't get them .......

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Perhaps yours has not updated to the latest version yet, this warning feature was JUST introduced.

    Yes, when Putin was a kid he cut himself with his father's straight and now he wants to destroy all straights and their users. Stay away from high rise windows Jimmy.

    The link to here is the old http and not the "new" htpps. Thus giving this warning. I don't think there is any worry about coming here though...

    SRP users are primarily vulnerable to severe bouts of ADs from spending any amount of time here. However, if we see a rash of banninations, then we can presume some Russian FSB agents have finally hacked SRP's password scheme as JimmyHAD has pointed out.

    It warns me inside my own internal private network in my place, they must want everyone to use HTTPS
