It’s no secret that many users who use the popular Chrome browser developed by Google to visit Internet resources very often get a Chrome privacy violation error message when they log in to certain sites. How to disable this protection function will be discussed later. In the meantime, let us dwell on the questions about what causes the appearance of such a notification and how appropriate it is to engage in actions of this kind.
Chrome privacy violation error: causes
In general, based on the official description of this failure, which is presented by the IT specialists of the company itself, its appearance is usually associated with the fact that a certain website or service on the Internet does not deserve a trusting relationship with them.
Actually, in Google Chrome, a privacy violation error appears only because the browser, as well as the Windows systems themselves, monitor the user's security too much. Even anti-virus programs do not allow themselves this, although some of them have been noticed in such actions (Avast). We will dwell on them a little later, but for now let's see what can be done to rectify the situation.
Chrome privacy violation error: what to do first?
For starters, the simplest solution is suggested. Suppose you go to a trusted resource that has not been blocked until a certain point.
The error is described in the corresponding notification. To eliminate it, cardinal methods do not need to be applied. Simply expand the message by clicking on the "Advanced" line and use the line confirming the transition to the specified address. Of course, the browser will report that such a redirect may be associated with certain problems regarding content security, but you can ignore this if you are sure that this resource has been opened without problems and does not contain potential threats.
Fix shortcut properties
On the other hand, even if this does not work, the problem of how to fix the privacy violation error in Chrome can be solved quite simply by editing the basic properties of the browser shortcut. Only in this case, the proposed solution will have to be applied at your own peril and risk, since the installed options will be used to access all Internet resources, and not just your favorites. But among other sites quite often you can find the presence of potentially dangerous content.
But now a few words directly on how to fix a privacy violation error in Chrome. First, use the RMB menu on the browser shortcut with a choice of the property bar. After that, you need to move to the object type field and after the name of the browser executable file (Chrome.exe) with the name of the full path to the object add the line -ignore-certificate-errors. Then just save the changes and restart the Chrome.
Security Software Issues
As already noted, the privacy violation error in Chrome may be due to conflict situations that arise due to a mismatch of security software.
In this sense, you can give the simplest example when a user installs several antiviruses on one computer or one antivirus and protection from advertising exposure. Someone on the Internet expressed a very eloquent opinion on this subject, saying that the joint use of such tools is akin to putting Stalin and Hitler in the same prison cell. It is possible that young people will not understand what is at stake, but older people can imagine all the consequences of such actions.
But we were distracted. In this case, the privacy violation error in Chrome is fixed by disabling one of the components for a while. If a positive effect is achieved, one of them (or several) will simply have to be removed from the system.
Date and Time Settings
No matter how trite it may sound, a privacy violation error in Chrome may be due to incorrect parameters set for the date and time options. Do not pay attention to what is displayed in the system tray of the graphical interface. The fact is that setting these parameters in Windows does not give anything at all, if the system time differs from the options that are set in BIOS or UEFI. Even if synchronization is activated, this will not take effect.
To change the settings, restart the computer device, log in to the primary system and check the settings. As a rule, they will be available on the very first tab that opens by default.
VPN usage
Finally, another completely non-standard solution regarding the elimination of a privacy violation error in Chrome is to initially enable VPN mode by using the installation of the appropriate plug-ins and extensions (even before accessing a website).
It is possible that the region of the user trying to access a specific resource has a ban on visiting. The VPN client will change the external IP address of the machine with which it is trying to access, similar to the way proxies do it, and the requested resource will give an appropriate response with permission to enter. However, you shouldn’t really count on this, because the built-in services may not take this decision. In extreme cases, if nothing helps at all, reset the settings to factory defaults. In the end, just reinstall the browser, after downloading the latest distribution from the official website of the corporation.
