Getting Chrome SSL warnings on both the OP link and https://get.dev/ Doesn't really evoke confidence, if this is a Google initiative. Can someone post a short precis as to what this is about for those of us who cannot visit the URLs? UPDATE: Apologies - My bad, not Google's fault. I had a local Valet/NGINX redirect for local .dev domains setup for Laravel development projects that was causing the issue.

Can you post a screenshot of the certificate you're seeing? It sounds like you're being MITMed. It works fine in Chrome for me.

Oh, and this is definitely a valid Google initiative. Source: Work for Google, am involved in this.

I'm seeing a valid cert issued to Google.

Perhaps your browser is being directed to a page not owned by google. I don't get an SSL warning in Chrome or Firefox (Windows 10).

From the site: "With actionable guidance and analysis, web.dev helps developers like you learn and apply the web's modern capabilities to your own sites and apps."

It includes a web version of the Lighthouse website measurement tool. It also has guides for various web dev topics.

The topics can be browsed normally, but I think most users will discover topics by the measurement tool showing the user guides to improve their website.

Ah, OK, I think I worked out what is happening. I have a valet service running for local Laravel development which is redirecting local .dev subdomains to Valet instances on my iMac!

Apologies for that - I will shut down the Valet service and try again.

I got a ERR_SSL_VERSION_INTERFERENCE briefly before the page successfully reloading. I have uBlock Origin installed, so it may be it.

Valet fixed this last year. Recommend that you update: https://github.com/laravel/valet/pull/436

Although that might only change the default for new installs; you might still need to change it for existing installs. I'm not sure; I've never used Laravel.
