Some would argue that the fact that the site does not operate as securely as possible IS something to worry about!

eg, the fact that Flyertalk still doesn't use SSL even for logging in is just outright crazy...

However, the site could do more.

My "Home" button is now different too, it's an up arrow that is short and squat. I don't remember what it looked like prior to this.

I'm on Version 53.0.2785.116 m.

Eventually it's going to be replaced with a ’Not Secure' message as per this post

https://security.googleblog.com/2016/09/moving-towards-more-secure-web.html

Unless FT make the login process secure then, you soon won't be able to login using Chrome (and Firefox I think) as they are going to prevent passwords being submitted from non-secure pages too.
