Description Andrej Mitrovic 2020-10-05 03:32:37 UTC 
Chrome has started to disallow direct download of .dmg files on MacOS. Clicking the `Download DMG File` link does nothing. If I manually right click and save it, I get a warning in Chrome saying "dmd.2.094.0.dmg can't be downloaded securely" - although it does allow me to override this.

So I think the website should be updated. Perhaps to suggest using brew?
Comment 1 Andrej Mitrovic 2020-10-05 03:35:30 UTC 
I was just told that brew is mentioned on the "Other Downloads" page here: https://dlang.org/download.html

Although I think we should probably move this to the main page for MacOS.
Comment 2 Mathias LANG 2020-10-05 03:45:58 UTC 
It is not `dmg`, since Chrome allows to download a dmg from https://www.google.com/chrome/ . I think it's the fact that the download link is using http rather than https.

I ran into this same problem with Chrome on Windows (and the windows .exe installer).
