I was looking through the DevTools for toepoke this weekend and noticed this warning had suddenly appeared:
The certificate used to load https://toepoke.co.uk uses an SSL certificate that will be distrusted in Chrome 66. Once distrusted, users will be prevented from loading this resource. See https://g.co/chrome/symantecpkicerts for more information.
In essence there are plans to distrust Symantic certifications in a future version of Chrome.
