[ubuntu-za] Chrome secure site issues

[Wikus Van Dyk]

Hmmm , interesting. I am not behind a firewall. Private connection on a 
normal ADSL with auto ip on one machine , and Telkom mobile also with 
auto ip on the other machine.

Of those sites you listed I only use takealot as well. Went in there now 
, works for me also.

So seems I am just unlucky that most of the ones I use has an issue and 
the issue is server side.

So now I wonder if it's safe to access problematic ones with firefox 
that don't give an error , or should I rather wait until
chromium don't have an issue with them any more. But some I access on 
daily basis and will be difficult not to use.
