This is driving me crazy

Lately when I click on some links I get a message that the site is not secure and I am given the option to proceed to the site anyway. When I click that option I get a blank screen and nothing happens. This has become a major problem

ARGH sorry, I miss that sometimes.

Ok, so which device and browser? Are the sites only http, or are they https? Are the links in text messages?

Both my Pixel 3a and desktop using Chrome browser I think it's both http and https

And where are the links you're tapping (i.e. are they links embedded in a website, or are they in an email, or somewhere else?), and which sites are they supposed to lead to?

I get that when I'm on a work computer and IT is trying to stop me from online shopping or reading about the balance patches for Street Fighter V.

Embedded in websites they don't lead to anything specific or unusual. If you you could tell me how to find and turn off "use https everywhere" I would try that

I found it and I will try browsing without it for a day or two

If this works for now, I'd still consider a backup browser.

Google likes to throw its weight around. It starts by making a change but giving you an option to revert. When they realize no one likes the change and keeps using the old method, they remove it from the settings menu but leave it switchable via chrome flags. When they realize people still aren't buying it and changing the flags, the they remove the flags. When people abandon ship and switch to other browsers, the popular ones are typically Chromium based. So when that happens, Google yanks the old functionality from the Chromium API, nerfing the other browsers as well.
