I played a game today and during the game I noticed the URL say Not secure at the top. As far as I know, Chess.com is one of the  (if not the) most secure chess website. 

Anyone know why this happened?

Which browser are you using

don't use chrome for 1, second its pretty trustworthy, i don't see what you have anything to worry about. I hope chess.com or other members of the club can help you further. 

 

If you must use chrome, go to play store, and download the actual app. But chrome is not the best source, even if it is through google.

google is not reliable they steal your info and they listen to you and when you talk to "IT"

it now knows what your voice is and who knows what else they do

It's secure for sure. That just happens sometimes for some reason, I'm not sure why. (It happens to my 2016 Chromebook, even Google searches show up as not secure.) There's really nothing to worry about.

True it isn't exactly what beta is for but it still is a glitch so I think it's okay

It could possibly be related to some advertising code not being sent over https,/SSL which would trigger the warning. You would have to click the Not Secure message to see why Chrome thought that for more details.

 

However, that message, when seen, really is not about site security, but just that some portion of the data is being sent in clear text (again, probably advertisement data)

To add a little context as well. For a page where you're submitting sensitive information, such as a password or financial details, you would want to be aware that the data might be sent in the clear and maybe refrain from doing it.
