Guild Wars 2

I sometimes see a ‘Google Chrome’ information icon, top right next to the star, informing me that insecure content has been blocked.

just thought Anet would like to know.

I believe that is a user setting, and the content it blocks is things like YouTube links or certain pictures, etc. I used to have it on my browser…not sure what happened to it.

Mixed content blocking usually happens when external content which is served via http is served through pages which are delivered via https (described in the Google article). All content by Anet is usually served via https – even the wikis do finally support https. The problem lies in youtube links which are automatically resolved and displayed as embedded video (i think thats currently the only external content allowed on the forums). Most users still browse youtube via http or copy/paste the share links which are usually http too. The forum doesn’t automatically convert these to https which would be a simple thing to change in the code – so it’s up to Anet to fix this or it’s up to the users to only use https links (the latter is impossible).
