At Pleexy, we understand the importance of seamless browsing experiences and efficient productivity flows. We have noticed that some users always get a pop-up confirmation message when clicking or tapping the "Open in app" link, which messes with their flow. This article aims to provide a workaround that can help you disable it.

Disclaimer: The workaround mentioned in this article is provided for informational purposes only. Modifying browser settings and treating insecure origins as secure may have security implications. Please use this workaround at your own risk and ensure you understand the potential risks involved. Pleexy does not accept any responsibility for any issues that may arise from implementing this.

Steps to follow

According to Google's Chrome help forum, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Chrome browser and type "chrome://flags/" in the address bar.

  2. Press Enter to access the Chrome experimental features page.

  3. Use the search bar on the page and enter "Insecure origins treated as secure."

  4. Once you find the corresponding flag, click on the dropdown menu next to it and select "Enabled."

  5. After enabling the flag, you will notice an additional option to add an origin.

  6. Add the specific origin you want to treat as secure by entering its URL - "http://plxy.co".

  7. Save the changes and restart your Chrome browser.

By following these steps, you should be able to enable the "Insecure Origins Treated as Secure" option in Chrome, allowing you to remember your selections for specific URLs (In our case, Pleexy's).

Important Considerations

It is essential to exercise caution when using this workaround. By treating an origin as secure, you are bypassing the browser's security measures, which may expose you to potential risks. Make sure you trust the site and understand the implications of treating it as secure.

Additionally, please note that the workaround mentioned here is specific to Chrome. It may not be applicable to other browsers or future versions of Chrome, as browser developers regularly update their software.
