safari and chrome will no longer open webpages unless the webpage starts off with https://

Firefox still works fine. Im not sure what the problem is, ive tried various things like deleting cookies, looking for viruses. but i dunno. If anyone could help that would be awesome.

thanks.

Quick Google Search says Sophos may be the reason why. Do you happen to have it installed?

 

 

If not, I would then check out what settings you have under System Preferences > Network > Choose your current connection and click the Advanced button > Proxies and see if you have Secure Web Procy (HTTPS) checked under "Select a protocol to configure"

If that is not checked off, also check to see if there is anything listed under Bypass proxy server settings.

secure web proxy was not ticked but there was a bypass proxy *.local, 169.254/16

should i delete that?

Copy it into a text file, delete it and see what happens. If something happens you can always paste it back.

I do believe the *.local is normal, I have seen that before.

Currently I do not have any entries in mine. I can share that.

    • Sure, that must be why it was revealed at the Sony showcase... the game was announced 5 years ago and the visuals are far from poor, what the hell are you smoking, plus the Switch 2 is pretty much on par with an Xbox Series S. It would be absolutely stupid for a dev to build a game "with the Switch 2 in mind" when it's coming to all platforms were the majority of sales will happen.

    • Microsoft makes it easier to find PC specs in Windows 11 Settings by Taras Buria Windows 11 has already received several improvements that make it easier to learn about your computer's specifications. Recently, Microsoft released Spec Cards for the System > About section, which provide basic information about the PC's main components, such as processor, memory, storage, graphics card, and video memory. Now, the Settings app is getting a new way to find your device info. Microsoft wants to display basic device information right on the Home page of the Settings app. The latest preview builds from the Dev and Beta Channels introduced a new "Your device info" card for the Settings' Home page. It displays specs like processor name and speed, graphics card and the amount of video memory, storage, and RAM. The card also has a link to the "About" section, where you will find more information about your computer, its Windows edition, product ID, and the recently introduced FAQ section that answers common hardware-related questions. The "Your device info" card joins the existing cards on the Settings app's home page. While the section offers useful information like quick access to Bluetooth devices, Wi-Fi, personalization, and recommended settings, users received it with mixed reactions, as many considered it another way for Microsoft to promote its services and subscriptions like Microsoft 365, OneDrive, and Game Pass (seriously, who thinks about Game Pass when opening Settings?). Now, the Settings' Home page is a bit more useful, as it saves you a few clicks when checking your computer's specs. If you want to test the new "Your device info" card, update your PC to build 26200.5622 or newer (Dev Channel). Just keep in mind that Microsoft is rolling it out gradually, and it requires signing in with a Microsoft Account in the United States. Other changes in build 26200.5622 include a new Settings section for Quick Machine Recovery, widget improvements, more app recommendations in the "Open with" dialog, and more. Check out the full release notes here.
