I own a Google Apps domain, and I've built a site in Google Sites. Within the site I've embedded some gadgets, added by URL.

The problem occurs when I open the site in Chrome: the gadgets aren't displayed and there's a white space instead of them. This doesn't happen when opening the site in Firefox.

Here's the difference. This is the page as displayed in Firefox:

page with gadgets dispalyed

This is the page from Google Chrome, instead (without the gadgets):

How can I prevent this behavior? I'm aware that the gadgets loaded by an external URL can be seen as non-secure items, but why is Chrome blocking them at all?

  • Have you checked this with the web inspector (Tools → Developer Tools)? Also, this happens when you are logged in or logged out of Google?

  • Do you have some privacy extensions installed on Chrome? Looks like a Twitter gadget, right? If you have any privacy extension installed, it might be the culprit. Have you checked the site from different machines?

  • Same problem on a different machine with the newest version of chrome. The fact is: in older versions of chrome, those items were recognized as non secure, and a pop-up asked if I wanted to load them, or not. Now there's no warning and they are not loaded

The problem is due to the new security rules adopted in Chrome 21. URLs in the source code must use HTTPS instead of HTTP, as stated here.
