I tried this on two browsers, Brave and Microsoft Edge, and because https://video.poal.co/ has a digital certificate issued to Poal.co instead of the subdomain video.poal.co, it is being blocked with a very scary warning.

yeah... because https://video.poal.co/ is not a valid address... https://vid8.poal.co/ on the other hand is working fine

Maybe they should disable the subdomain video.poal.co so that people get a page not found?

Just a cert date mismatch. Or man in the middle attack. Take your pick.

Brave & Edge are not "all browsers" - they're just the usual Chromium-based Alphabet-Google-CIA backdoor candidates.

There are alternatives, which of course are attacked vehemently by the usual suspects whenever you suggest someone gets away from Google-based spyware like Brave & Edge.. so I don't bother prompting them anymore and will just continue to laugh at all of you willful sheep as you suffer.

Hello. Let's be friends.

Excerpt:

Install Librewolf or Ungoogled-Chromium if you need a big browser and you just wanna watch YouTube and Netflix. Install webbrowser or palememe (note: only install PaleMoon if you use Windows or macOS, and be sure to mitigate it before use) if you want something in the middle. Links, Netsurf and Kristall for minimalists. Write your websites in XHTML without JavaScript and use static generation instead of CMSs. And/or use Gemini and Gopher.

Have you ever looked at Waterfox?

Firefox clones don't work with the websites I need to use. I'm pretty much stuck with Chromium based browsers. Giving ungoogled-chromium and iridium a try now. So far I'm liking Iridium. Mainly because installing extensions works. On ungoogled-chromium it was a hassle.

Waterfox and the search engine StartPage have both been bought by an advertising firm.

Iridium and Ungoogled Chrome. IceCat I guess but not really. Alternativeto.net

vid8.poal.co seems to be working.
