It has always been a joke of a feature. If it's dangerous; block the website. If not; display it to the user.
Normal users don't want to deal with the technicalities. Presenting information to the user is just a way to "do something" while not actually taking responsibility and solving the problem.
- marcosdumay 12y agoHow can you ever know what is dangerous or not for the user to do? Get some humility. That's exactly the mindset that put us in this horrible situation. People would start warning against bad crypto much sooner if the consequences weren't as bad as browsers made them. We could even have warnings against plain HTTP already if browser security wasn't this radical.
- cortesoft 12y agoUmm, 'danger' is not binary. There is no hard and fast rule that makes something 'dangerous'. There are levels of danger, and levels of risk. How can a browser know where that line is for every user and every site?
