In this article I will tell you how to fix the privacy violation error in Google Chrome. Many who actively use the Internet do it through a browser Google Chrome When accessing some websites, you may see a red screen indicating a privacy violation. This can often be an indication that the resource is insecure (for example, it transmits confidential information, for example, into payment data entered by the user, over an encrypted connection for which the certificate has expired). However, in some cases, this error may occur on normal websites. If you have a privacy violation error in Chrome, we will tell you how to disable it below.
The easiest way to disable privacy violation errors is to run the Chrome browser with a special setting. To do this you need to do the following:
If the browser is open, close it and restart it by clicking on the icon for which the specified settings were applied. Now the browser will never say that a site is unsafe.
How to access a site that displays a privacy violation error when you visit it
The method described above is quite radical, and therefore is not suitable for everyone. Most users do not need to enable Ignore Certificate Errors, they just need to open the site.
To visit a resource where a privacy violation error appears in Chrome, you will need to perform a number of simple steps:
- Once in front of the warning screen, click on “Advanced”;
- After clicking on the corresponding link, some text will expand, among which there will be a link “ Go to website (not secure)“- you need to click on it.
After this, the requested page will be loaded. However, only do this if you are confident in the site.
Other causes of privacy violation error in Chrome
There are several other reasons why a privacy violation error may appear. For example, it almost always occurs on resources operating over an encrypted channel if the user has the wrong time.
If a person's watch is slow (or fast) by one or more days, then when entering secure sites, he will see a corresponding warning screen. To correct the error in this case, you just need to set the correct time.
Another reason for the problem of privacy violation is the operation of antivirus software. Try disabling anti-spyware software and visiting the resource. However, if this helps, then you should think about the advisability of visiting the relevant sites, because the antivirus does not just complain about it - perhaps the resource contains some kind of malicious code.

When you go to some pages on the Internet, the Yandex browser issues a warning about the absence of genuine certificates on the site. The program also warns that working with this website may be dangerous, as its owners may try to steal your personal information. This article describes what to do if, when you go to the page you need, a window pops up with the text “Your connection is not secure.”
This error means that the site is protected using a certificate that was not registered with the certification authority. The presence of a verified certificate means that Google and Yandex robots have checked the site’s content for dangerous vulnerabilities. In case of legal entities this will also mean that all documentation of the company that owns the site is in perfect order.
If you trust this website and believe that it does not belong to scammers, you can ignore the warning “Your connection is not secure” and continue with your work. To do this, you need to click on the “More” hyperlink at the bottom of the page. After this, the Yandex browser will give you the opportunity to follow a link to the desired site.
It is worth noting that unverified certificates have the same quality protection as licensed ones. There are a huge number of reasons why the verification could fail. Very often problems arise on your personal computer.
Despite this, it is recommended to exercise some caution when working on the site. It is better not to leave your credit card numbers on it, and also use logins and passwords similar to those you use on other services.
Lack of latest updates
Certification verification is carried out using special services built into the operating system. Since technology is constantly and rapidly evolving, it is possible that the SSL certificate on this site contains those elements that you are aware of. Windows version he simply doesn't know.
Now all graduating by Microsoft updates will be installed on your computer independently, and you will not have to control it.
Setting the date
Very often, the Yandex browser warns that your connection is not secure when the time and date settings are lost. As a result of such failures, your computer may think that the SSL certificate has already expired, and the site you are interested in may pose a threat to the security of your personal data.
In order to correct this misunderstanding, you need to correctly set the system clock:
Incognito mode
If none of the above has any effect, you can try running your Yandex browser in incognito mode. This special mode, which anonymizes your online presence, making it impossible to analyze your actions search engines, saving the sites you visit to history, and so on.
One of the errors you may encounter when using Chrome on Windows or Android is the error message ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID or ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID“Your connection is not secure” with an explanation that attackers may be trying to steal your data from the site (for example, passwords, messages or numbers bank cards). This can happen simply “out of the blue,” sometimes when connecting to another Wi-Fi network (or using another Internet connection) or when trying to open one specific site.
These instructions contain the most effective ways to fix the “Your connection is not secure” error in Google Chrome on Windows or on Android device, most likely one of these options will be able to help you.
Previously, the most common cause of the error in question was incorrectly set date and time on the computer (for example, if you do not have synchronization with the Internet). However, Google Chrome now produces a separate error “The clock is behind” (ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID).
However, just in case, check that the date and time on your device matches the real date and time, taking into account your time zone and, if they are different, correct or enable them in the settings automatic installation date and time (applies equally to Windows and Android).
Additional reasons for the error “Your connection is not secure”
Some additional reasons and solutions if such an error appears when trying to open a website in Chrome.
Finally, if none of the suggested methods help, try uninstalling Google Chrome from your computer (via Control Panel - Programs and Features), and then reinstalling it on your computer.
If this does not help, leave a comment and, if possible, describe what patterns were noticed or after which the error “Your connection is not secure” began to appear. Also, if the error only occurs when connecting to a specific network, then there is a possibility that this network is really unsafe and somehow manipulates security certificates, which is what Google Chrome is trying to warn you about.
Additionally (Windows): This method is undesirable and potentially dangerous, but you can run Google Chrome with the --ignore-certificate-errors option to prevent it from reporting site security certificate errors. This parameter you can, for example, add to the browser shortcut options.
