Security warning issues android tablet

redbull08

I continually get this message on most sites now, almost unable to use nexus 7 tablet 2013.

If I do a factory reset will it stop this problem?
Will I lose my photos?
My android mobile uses same WiFi hub doesn't present with this issue.
Can anyone advise me please? Thanks.

Because its a chrome thing


Clear history, cookies and cached files.


go to settings=>privacy=>clear browsing data
tick all the boxes and then click "clear browsing data"


If you still get the message, then either clear the data and cache from application settings or remove chrome and download the latest version

I will install new version as I clear cookies cache and data every day, which doesn't help thanks guys

Can you force stop, then clear data and cache ?


Its vanilla android isnt it on the nexus so chrome is baked in
You should still be able to update it in the app store though

I tapped and it had a marshmallow pic, I tried updating too that didn't work

Vanilla android just means that it is pure android and not a fork by Samsung et al


Is the date and time set correctly on the device ?
