Newest version of Google Chrome blocks me from downloading Eclipse installer

Using Google Chrome (version 86) trying to download the eclipse installer gives me the error message that the installer can't be downloaded securely.

Google chrome having a market share of 66 % blocking a secure website (seemingly arbitrarily) is at least problematic.

I don't get an error on OSX...

Strange, I am using Windows 10 with Chrome version 86.0.4240.75 (Official build) (64-bit)

That error is what you get if you try to download something over http (https://www.theregister.com/2020/02/07/google_chrome_blockin...). The link I used was https. I wonder if you have something rewriting the URL on your PC...

Thank you for providing that link. That would explain the error. I don't have any extensions changing the url, I am however in Europe (Sweden) which probably allocates me towards different mirrors.

I will make sure that the mirror url provided by eclipse is not affected by anything on my setup, and if that's the case report it to the Eclipse foundation.
