My install of Chrome is currently showing warnings for WP.

"Plugins were blocked on this page. "

"This page is trying to load scripts from unauthenticated sources."

Never had this happen. What OS and browser are you running?

edge browser, w10v2. internet explorer does NOT do this. also edge seems to cause memory leakage on many sites besides WP, and overloads the CPU [on my puter] as well. I don't know what Microsoft was thinking.

I find that it doesn't happen when I use Puffin on mobile.
