You can also bypass Chrome security warnings that don't have the "Continue anyway" link by typing `thisisunsafe` on the page (yes, blind). You'll know if it worked by the last `e`.


I like this and Firefox has nothing like it.

If you ask around (like in reddit) they'll tell you "hurr durr but the rfc", "hurr durr security". Thank you, but I am an adult, and this is a computer I bought with the money I earned. I want to be able to tell my computer what to do. /rant


I thought you were kidding until I looked it up. Apparently this is also changed from time to time!

> The chrome developers also do change this periodically. They changed it recently from badidea to thisisunsafe so everyone using badidea, suddenly stopped being able to use it.


They had to change "badidea" because in some places typing it into error pages had become part of instruction manuals.

Now people ignoring HTTPS errors will at least k ow why it's a bad idea!
