Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Links from sites such as southernliving.com, cookinglight.com, and marthastewart.com no long open…browser shows sites are insecure…shields are down…no changes made to privacy settings…I don’t have time or the inclination to fiddle with this, so I will just start using another browser…

Expected result:

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Brave is up to date

Version 1.39.111 Chromium: 102.0.5005.61 (Official Build) (64-bit)

If you don’t want to figure this out then I’m not sure why you posted this here.

And if that’s the case – then to get started:

  1. What is the exact error message? (Screenshot or copy/paste, either would be great.)
  2. What is an example of an exact URL with this issue?
  3. Under brave://settings/security do you have Always use secure connections enabled?
