Chromium's built-in developer tools include a tab devoted to
connection security.  It's under the *More tools->Developer tools*
menu (or ctrl-shift-i).  It's geared towards developers, but should
give you an idea of why the browser is upset with the site.

Firefox has a similar tool, under the *Tools->Web Developer->Network*
menu (or ctrl-shift-q).
