    Reader mode loads the page from a local copy cached from the non-reader mode connection; via localhost, which doesn't support https. (or rather, uses a self-signed cert which appears insecure). As this connection is entirely internal to the device, proper https isn't necessary.

    Later versions of the app will hide that icon in reader mode, but it doesn't look like that's made it to android yet.

  • "connection is not secure"

    you can "enable in all tabs" "HTTPS-Only mode", if that bothers you. iirc it's not on by default, which permits to fallback on HTTP

    ?

    edit : i see, reader is not online, i believe. It's an in browser rendering of the site.

  • Apparently it's because it's using a self signed certificate, but I'm having trouble finding exact sources that confirm this.
