I got that with the Opera browser. When I switched over to Firefox it was OK.

Wow, my compromised browser seems to be causing other Freepers to see the same thing. Weird.

Your Internet browser is probably not compromised. Instead, it is set up (somehow) to be sensitive (for the moment) to data from server:

www.jimjambo.com

The problem is possibly a non-secure, troubled connection to JPG file: “BeavisAndButthead4.jpg” from that server.

“Browsers like Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Vivaldi, Brave and GNOME Web use these lists from Google Safe Browsing to check pages against potential threats. Google also provides a public API for the service.”

jimjambo.com is apparently in that list because it’s a harmful website ...

Using a Chromium engine -based Internet browser, I get the following message:

The connection to www.jimjambo.com is not secure
You are seeing this warning because this site does not support HTTPS.

You obviously know you are right, but I use multiple browsers and your pointing out it is on chrome is correct. I will add this: if, using chrome(vivaldi) I search on google for the title you give on your 1st post and click on the freerepublic result, I do get the red warning; however if I right click on that link to open the google link in a new tab it works just fine and shows the freerepublic page just fine. So, it looks like google is actually doing the redirect if you do a plain click on their result.

Me too. The problem appears to be a Beavis & Butthead toon somebody linked to that’s hosted on a site that is questionable.

Yep, weird “browsers in common” issues! ;-) That thread loads fine for me in Safari, MS Edge (Chromium-based) and Brave. You running some Antivirus/Anti-malware software? They inject themselves between the browser and the website to “protect” you.

I get the exact same warning - “Deceptive site ahead” etc. I sure did not pursue it to see what would happen. It seems like there is always a new phishing trick to beware of.

I had the same thing happen when clicking on the same article. I think there must be a picture or something from that link that causes a “warning” from JimRob’s server. FR doesn’t allow porn and any link to other sites that may have an indication of some porn embedded might trigger such a message. Just a thought.

Yep, probably the “jimjambo.com/BeavisAndButthead4.jpg” “direct-linked” picture....never “hot-link”/”direct-link” photos/graphics...it is considered bandwidth theft and is in bad taste. Host photos on servers/sites you control/own or subscribe to.

See http://www.deuceofclubs.com/switcheroo/switch19.htm for gory details when Freeper “COBAL2Java” got “Switcharooed”.
