Knowing the "risk", I was very happy to find this post (and the comments for the actual keyword). I didn't want more than read two frickin' paragraphs. I did not intend to give any personal details, payment information or whatever. Maybe there was a man in the middle and the information displayed had been altered - so what? "There's someone wrong on the internet" - nothing more. I have to check if the information I get from the site is plausible, that's part of my job. There was no "risk". I, as an informed user, should always have the possibility to access sites like that. The keyword-thing makes this harder for simple FaceTube-Clickers, and for a good reason, but I think it is a good solution, given my example.
"The TLDR; is that it stops users from clicking through security warnings"
So it's a restriction on users. As a user, I cannot accept that. It's war against ME.
