But anyway, does then ultimately mean that seamonkey is far superior to
firefox when it comes to security ?
No, it means that SM has a lot more adjustability and FF is just set how
it's set, which is to the "most secure way" as the developers see fit.
Does anybody have an explanation, and is the site
https://tinychat.com/connectwith5d safe to use or not.
When I go to that site I get a message (from SM) across the top that
says "insecure (stuff) on this page was blocked" and it has buttons to
keep it that way or change it.
When I /have/ seen the "You have requested an encrypted page that
contains insecure....." message on sites in the past, however, I have
from time to time, dug into the code and found it's usually a psuedo
false alarm in the sense that, YES /some/ of the stuff on that page is
from an insecure server but it's style sheet and image stuff, not the
<input form> (or like) important stuff that deals with the password you
type. On the odd occasion that I have seen that warning on PayPal I
just purposely type everything wrong, and the next reload is usually
straight-up https secure.
as for TinyChat, I have no idea who uses it or why, but I would ask them
if you are concerned
