My browser is telling me "The site's security certificate is not trusted!"

I don't know much about security certificates, except what the browser offers as help.  Is this problem going to go away soon?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

It's safe. How did you end up on the HTTPS version when it is not the default?

Though we really do need a real ssl certificate.  There is no reason why a startssl one can't be gotten (it is free, after all).
Bitcoin Core, rust-lightning, http://bitcoinfibre.org etc.
