How to disable the "Do you want to view only the webpages content that was delivered securely? popup in your browser.

This error message is very common on websites that embed third-party resources on pages - think videos from youtube.  The problem is the resource they're embedding is using plain http, when the URL of the actual website is https.  Your browser thinks there is a possible security issue (which usually it's harmless) and prompts you with a popup.  You can, however, configure your browser to ignore these warnings.  Here's how to do it in IE:

1.       Go to Tools >>  Internet Options >> Security
2.       Next click on the Security tab
3.       Next click the "Custom Level" button
4.       In the ‘Miscellaneous’ section change  Display mixed content to "Enable"
5.       Click Ok
6.       You may need to restart your browser for the changes to take effect.
