what is the insecure content on the site....

[Ashley MLP Fangirl]

okay, so i use the opera browser, and on this site, it says it blocked material. 

 

here is their explanation: http://help.opera.com/opera/Windows/2393/en/private.html#blocked

 

i'm just wondering why it's blocking stuff here, because the site renders fine.

that won't be of use, as my machine is set to the dutch language.

 

i'll describe. the site renders exactly the same to my eyes, but there is an indicator on the right of the adress bar, that says that opera blocked insecure content on this site.

I believe this is mostly caused by hot-linked images that people put in their posts.

Really? When I look in Firefox's inspector I don't see any http sources loaded on the homepage. Only https.

opera doesn't trust site, unsigned data etc...

turn off blocking or allow

This website is secured and encrypted. That's why you get the little lock in the address bar. This is good because you can type in your password and such without worrying.

However, some parts of the website, such as some images people link to, and what appears to be the search box, are not encrypted. They are loaded from external, non-encrypted websites. That's what Opera is blocking and warning you about.

 

On some other site it might not be the search box that's not encrypted. It might be the login box that's sent in plain text. That would mean that while you think you are safe and nobody can read your password, everyone could. Opera (and other web browsers) would therefore block that unsecure login box.

I use opera and have never seen it though. Are you on a public Wi-Fi by any chance?

Doesn't Opera automatically block all ads not from Google's ad service? I don't use Opera so I don't know any specifics. It might provide a notification when it blocks those ads.

correct.

while i havent had a chance to use it yet, the latest version of opera(reborn) automatically blocks ads.(with exception for google, facebook, and a couple other domains).

this site, while is really good about it, does display a couple ads which are probably getting blocked by opera.

Because someone might be intercepting your traffic then. When you get the unsecure certificate (or anything like that) it might be because someone is doing a man-in-the-middle attack.
