Aren't mac's more secure by default. Receive the warning using mac with h&r block 2025 installed.

These stupid tax software companies' business editions seem to support only MS-Windows. No idea why, they already support macOS on other editions.

Anyone know of any business editions available on macOS?

> No idea why

Probably because business users on macs are a rounding error, no offense.

Welcome to CrapOS 26H1! We think you'll love it. Also, if you install tax software it might enable anyone to read all of your "encrypted" TLS connections regardless of what browser or app you might be using.

Curious: is it carrying a SHA-1 self-signature?

I have the non-business edition installed and still get a privacy error attempting to load your page, so this seems specific to the business edition. Thanks for the heads up.
