[Website] Chrome blocks downloads

#1 Post by Moasseman »

ToME can not be downloaded using Google Chrome from https://te4.org/download due to Chrome blocking the download (silently) for security concerns. (Issue can be bypassed by using a different browser or copying the link -> paste on another tab)

Similarly, attempting to donate while using Google Chrome occasionally fails but I don't have more specific info about this

The Problem is that the download page is https, but the links are non-encrypted http (see https://blog.chromium.org/2020/02/prote ... ecure.html).
Chrome does complain, but only on the developer console. It would be nice if the links on the download page were changed to https.

Until then, an easy way without changing the browser is:
- point at the link, right mouseclick, "copy link address"
- open a new tab, paste the copied link, press enter. (Ctrl-T, Ctrl-V, Enter)
