download links blocked by Chrome

[Angel Herráez]

Hello
I am new to this list. I could not find a mention to this problem.

We have started using ImageJ with our students last October. It has helped
us to virtualize two of our lab practicals which can not be run onsite now.
Thank you for making this tool available!

We have detected now a problem with Chrome web browwer blocking all
donwloads of the installer from https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/download.html

I could see that this is because the links to the zipfiles are "http" and Chrome
considers them dangerous.
Changing the links to "https" cures the problem. Please, ammend that page.

Thanks,

There should be a button you can click on to override this behavior, as in the attached screenshot.
