Since yesterday, whenever I connect to the forum for the first time that day, I get the following indentification certificate (see attachment). It's in French, because of my OS. Here's what it says:

QUOTE
Safari does not manage to check the identity of the web site "google.com".

The certificate for this web site is invalid. Maybe you are connecting to a web site that pretends to be "google.com", which can compromise your confidential data. Do you wish to continue to this web site anyway?

If I dismiss it, I get this dialog on every page of the forum I visit.
Has anyone experienced this too?
What does Google have to do with it?
Does it have to do with Google's new privacy policy?

Whatever it is, it's annoying.
Thanks to anyone who can shine some light on this.

Thanks, Jim. But extensions don't work in Safari on Tiger.

I'm busy installing my new Mac mini, with Lion. So then I'll be able to add extensions to Safari.
