ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Heimen Stoffels 2023-09-20 20:54:32 UTC
Oh, I forgot to mention I'm using Falkon 23.11.70, latest git master.
Comment 2 Juraj 2023-09-23 14:10:35 UTC
Hello,

there should be a warning, unless there is a stored exception for this site.
Try to check it at [Preferences > Other > Certificate Exception Manager]
Comment 3 Heimen Stoffels 2023-09-23 14:27:19 UTC
Hello, there is no stored exception. I didn't even visit the site before people on Wikipedia told me about it (I only copy-pasted the link on Wikipedia from elsewhere). So when I visited the first time, it was the very first time in my life, yet no warning was shown.
Comment 4 Juraj 2023-09-27 18:14:38 UTC
Hello,
I think Falkon is not a problem.
If I visit the mentioned page without adding https:// manually, it will lead to an http site and redirect to another site.
If I add the https:// at the beginning, it will complain about wrong cert.

With this train of thoughts it is hard for me to say if there is anything wrong with Falkon, Qt5 or your system configuration (Falkon uses system certificates).

Falkon does not put https:// on everything, like some other browsers.
