Chrome version 21 or later blocks mixed content by default. It does not provide a message to the users, so they may not know that the content is being blocked by the browser. The block appears at the page level, so you may need to unblock pages more than once while working on different content pages.


The indicator for mixed content is a shield icon that appears only in the far right of the address bar. There are no other pop-ups or visual clues that Chrome is blocking content, so keep an eye out for this silent icon.



To allow mixed content in Google Chrome:

  1. Click the shield icon in the far right of the address bar.
  2. In the pop-up window, click Load anyway or Load unsafe script (depending on your Chrome version).

Note: The steps to "load anyway" must be completed for each page where the icon or message appears.


To set your Chrome browser to ALWAYS allow mixed content:


Caution: If using this option, Chrome will no longer check for unsecured content of every webpage (not just the Pearson product you are using).

  1. In an open Chrome browser, press Ctrl+Shift+Q on your keyboard to force close Chrome. Chrome must be fully closed before the next steps.
  2. Right-click the Google Chrome desktop icon (or Start Menu link).
  3. Select Properties.
  4. At the end of the existing information in the Target field, add: " --allow-running-insecure-content" (There is a space before the first dash.)
  5. Click OK.
  6. Open Chrome and try to launch the content that was blocked earlier. It should work now.
