Thanks to the continuous security improvements, the latest dev version of Google Chrome now blocks insecure scripts.
If the web site is secured via HTTPS protocol, Google’s web browser will also check whether or not the specific parts of the code (such as scripts, external CSS, etc.) also use HTTPS to deliver data.
