Constant annoying "Website is not secure" on HTTP pages

[floyt]

Hello
Is there any way to disable this, as this is extremely annoying. I REALLY DONT CARE if site has HTTP or HTTPS protocol, as most pages that i visit once mostly has only HTTP connection, and there is NOTHING i can do about the fact what protocol website uses.
But clicking every GODDAMN TIME to visit site is frustrating at best.
And please, i just want a solution, not people telling me how not secure visiting HTTP pages is.

@floyt The warning in address field, when you visit http://...... pages in WWW, can not be removed by a setting.

//EDIT: Ah, ok, i forgot a modification pacthes as Pathduck mentioned.

@floyt Hi, if you mean this in the address bar:

Yes, this is unfortunately the kind of hand-holding pandering to users feeling of "insecurity" inherited from Chromium. There's no option to turn it off, but it can be hidden with some simple CSS modding:

/* SiteInfo hide EV/Not Secure text */
.SiteInfoButton .siteinfo-text {
	display: none;
}

Oh and if you want a nice Vivaldi logo on non-HTTPS sites instead of the stupid "Info" icon, use this:

/* SiteInfo V logo  */
.SiteInfoButton.internal svg path, .SiteInfoButton.warning svg path {
	d: path("M10.4 5c-.4-.8 0-1.8 1-2 .7 0 1.5.4 1.6 1.2a1.4 1.4 0 0 1-.2 1l-4 7c-.3.5-.7.8-1.2.8-.6 0-1-.2-1.3-.7L3.8 7.8 2.2 5c-.5-.8 0-2 1-2 .7 0 1 .2 1.4.7l1 2 1 1.4a2 2 0 0 0 1.7 1.5 2.2 2.2 0 0 0 2.3-2V6c0-.3 0-.6-.2-1z");
}

Thanks for replies guys. I was saying more about the page that displays on enttering HTTP sites that require clicking "go to website". The thing i want to do is Vivaldi just opening site, not pestering me every time.

@floyt info.cern.ch has no vorrect certiicate for the subdomain.

If you see such page just type blindly thisisunsafe and it is unblocked.

@DoctorG
Is there anything i can do about it from my end, to not have to click on it every time?

[Pathduck]

@floyt

1. Use the non-HTTPS site:
   http://info.cern.ch

2. Turn off the setting to upgrade HTTP to HTTPS in Settings > Address Bar:
   

3. Tell the people at CERN to fix their certificate to give a valid value to its Common Name

Apparently even nuclear physicists can't get it right

[DoctorG]

Why do people use https on http://info.cern.ch ?

Page says "http://info.cern.ch - home of the first website" - the first cern website never had SSL! So why do you use it?
You can only use SSL on sites which really provides.

Forcing SSL by browser setting or extension is a pseudo-security nonsense.

@Pathduck
Disabling "always use secure connection" apparently did it. No more annoying notifications. THANKS.

[floyt]

@DoctorG I wasn't aware that my browser forced such settings by default. It was just the first site that poped up in google search by term "http website", just to provide screenshot of a problem.

@floyt said in Constant annoying "Website is not secure" on HTTP pages:

I wasn't aware that my browser forced such settings by default.

"Always use secure connections" is not enabled by default.

But glad it works for you now

@Pathduck
Maybe i set it up at some point, and forgot about it. But thanks for solution anyway.
