Read a browser warning page
Who is warning you when the screen turns red, and what to press.
A full red page means your browser matched the address against a list of reported sites and stopped.
The warning comes from the browser. The site itself never got to speak.
Key points
- A full red page is the browser stopping before a reported site loads
- Back to safety costs nothing; the link past it can cost a great deal
What to remember
- Back to safety is always safe to press.
- Nothing is lost by turning back.
