If you visit those websites often using your VPN, you might forget to stop the VPN.
As a result, some websites might not redirect you to their HTTPS version for security concerns.
And without HTTPS, Google Chrome will stop you from visiting that website.
To overcome this, ensure you havent left a VPN turned on.
If you did leave it on, turn it off; if not, proceed with the following method.
However, Google Chrome will still notify you if the website is secure.
2.Go toPrivacy & securityoptions from the sidebar and then selectSecurityfrom the provided options.
4.Scroll down and turn on the toggle next to theAlways use secure connectionsoption under the Advanced label.
Clicking on Continue to the site will redirect you to the non-secure website.

2.Turn off the toggle below the extension.
3.Visit the non-secure website and see if it opens.
Repeat this process until you find the extension.
Some of those extensions could be adblockers, VPNs, and more.
Use Online Proxy Websites
Try using an online proxy website if nothing from the above methods works.
They also hide your IP address so you might browse securely.
All youre doing is forcing the website to use the HTTPS protocol instead of the non-secure HTTP protocol.
For instance, if the web address ishttp://example.com, change it tohttps://example.comto make it work.
