No idea about the difference, maybe my site using Let's Encrypt makes a said in If your download don't work, this is the reason: However I see now that creating another test page the "insecure" downloads do not work when clicked.
Even FTP, but I've allowed that in the flags. I have a basic test page I use to test stuff like this, for some reason insecure cross-domain downloads still work there. Given that Vivaldi is supposed to be a company that does not have such a condescending view of users and actually consider us to have the intelligence to make our own decisions, I hope that Vivaldi will not force this upon us - unless they already have This is just another way to "streamline" the web for the consumer, making them feel "safe enough" to continue the mindless online shopping spree while data mining companies accumulate a wealth of information on each and every one of us. Some of us are perfectly capable of making our own decisions when it comes to security. I find it condescending to treat all users like fools who needs hand-holding to be protected from their own stupidity.
I really detest this kind of heavy-handed breaking of basic web functions typical of Google. Future versions of Chrome will block non-executable file types such as PDF, ZIP, or JPG files. bat, are the first file types to be blocked, and the release of Chrome 86 put that block in place. The company decided to roll out the feature gradually by adding more and more file types to the blocklist. Google announced in early 2020 that it will block content that is served via the insecure HTTP if the originating page uses HTTPS. The fact that nothing happens can be confusing to users, as the expectation is that the download should begin after clicking on the link. A check of the downloads page of the browser does not even list the file.
Chrome does not display a notification and there is virtually no information that explains what is happening, or not happening in this case. You click on the download link and nothing happens. If you have upgraded the Google Chrome browser to version 86, released on October 6, 2020, you may have noticed that some file downloads don't work anymore in the browser. Chrome is blocking downloads? Here is why!īy Martin Brinkmann on Octoin Google Chrome - Last Update: Octo39 comments
