    Try clicking the button that says 'No
    Yes same problem but I just click the button that says 'no' rather than saying it. My device isn't voice activated though

    why is that disappointing.

    this website like thousands others have been safe for years without https. just because browsers have now started stating thats logins arn't secure doesn't mean anything has changed

    It doesn't say. The message i keep getting is:

    Barnsleyfc.org.uk says:

    Get our android app for easier viewing and posting on this forum, optional push notifications and more!

    It's disappointing because it's fundamentally less secure. I just randomly clicked a dozen websites in my bookmarks and all allow HTTPS requests (I have an extension forcing them to use it if available). Just because it's been safe "for years" doesn't men it will be safe for more years. It's like waiting for you to be broken into before deciding to lock your doors and windows.
