Hmmm.
I just checked on my debian testing box whether this issue exists. It
doesn't.
I'd indeed check proxy settings, and also DNS settings (both on your
computer and your router).
There's always the outside chance that someone has tricked your computer
into using a hacked DNS server that points absa.co.za to their own
server, using an SSL cert signed by a dodgy CA that's untrusted by Chromium.
To be extra sure that it's a configuration issue (or trusted CA in
Chromium) issue, inspect the certificate closely.
I've attached the certificate information I get in Firefox.
Kind regards,
Xandor Schiefer
