    Not sure why I am getting an insecure connection icon in the path statement of my chrome browser? Android, pixel 2xl, triangle shape with an exclamation point in it. Screenshot_20200830-035042.png

    Google chrome may have the answers. Some nasty updates restricting functions on older chromium machines especially regarding unified media are being talked about. I cannot print more than one copy at a time on my two chromeboxes we use at the businesses as of this week.

    To explain this, it's related to a Flash component that the website is still using. Since Flash software is no longer supported by its developer Adobe, browsers are now marking it as insecure. I believe the Flash component is located in one of the many plugins I use to display the website so I just need to isolate this, remove and then the security warning should disappear. Will let you all know when I get it sorted! Thanks for the report :stew1:
