For some reason when I try to open my "preview page" while working in the workspace the browser address says "Not Secure

It says the site is not secure and it won't open it so now I can't preview my work in the workspace. How can I fix this? I've looked at the site settings and tried playing with the settings allowing things that were blocked but it still didn't help.

Well I just pressed command, option J and the console did open up as did the instructor's page in the video....so maybe it's okay...but I am still concerned that it says "not secure"...I even put the web address into the google site to check the security of the site and it said it was fine.

Since the website previews connect using the http protocol (instead of https), they will always be considered "not secure" by the browser. This isn't a real concern since you won't be passing any personal financial information (or any other personal identification information) in any of the web exercises.
