Disable "non-secure site" warning on Chrome

When testing web functionality as of Chrome stable version 68, keep in mind that a security measure was introduced within the browser to block non-secure content. This affects sites using HTTP as well as allowing SHA1 certificates. This change could prevent you from executing automated tests compared to other browsers, such as Firefox and IE. That option can be disabled in Chromium as per the steps below in order to have a single execution flow for all browser platforms.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Open "chrome://flags" in Chrome's address bar
  2. Find the "Mark non-secure origins as non-secure" option
  3. Set it to "Disabled"
  4. Afterwards for Windows platform only: use the Desktop-web customization service option to perform that task at each execution.

You may want to check with the web app owner / security team about the certificate in any way as if you'll get that browser notification in production, users would experience the same behavior, so in production the proper certificate must be in place
