  Why is the WGT browsers "Not secure" ?

  I use Chrome but never had the browsers - Not secure - ever.

  The game is not secure but your account and any financials are . So if using credit cards or debit cards nothing to worry about . All of that information is protected . If you click on the Account tab and it will show that page as being secure .

  Jeff, WGT has no browser, it's Chrome that is causing that.  You probably recently let it update to one of the newer versions.  Go just about anywhere that is only using http and Chrome will show that.  If it is https it won't.  You will also run into the same thing with the site certificate being outdated   It will tell you that it is outdated and ask if you want to load the page.  What you need to watch out for is sites that get labeled malicious.  Avast won't even let them load.

  Normal client page and home page are http, account page is https.

  Newer Firefox will do the same thing sometimes.  Also Avast sometimes will tell you the page is insecure.

  Just a little heads up, you hand deliver far more info about yourself "every" time you use chrome, than anyone could steal/mine on WGT in a decade!

  Googles agenda is "to gather as much data as possible on every single human being in the World, and to know everything possible about everyone". NOW that's something to worry about, yet we all use Google because it is "convenient" and help them with their quest, even me, I use it all the time, albeit with a frown on my face LOL!

  How true.  Is why my default is now Firefox, and all browsers that I have installed all have Bing as a search engine.  One of them I just left Duck Duck Go as its search

  If I could get away with it, I wouldn't have either IE or Chrome even installed.  Also why still running Win7.

  I dumped Google Chrome because of that.
