I am getting "Secure Connection Failed", Ive seen literally hundereds of same error also exist here. Like most of default solution (which is below) did not work for me. My laptops time is correct, And I highly doubt reddit and most of internet has issue with its security certificates. And other browser works just fine. So What is my solution other than immigrating to new browser?

Thanks, that's an unusual situation. Do you know whether you are connecting to Reddit through an intermediary such as proxy server, security software filter, or parental filter?

Does the page list any SEC_ERR code or other ALL_CAPS code that would provide a hint about what is going wrong? On pages with an Advanced button, click that button to find the code.

It turns out my ISP turned on some safety feature. When I changed it back, It worked thanks again.
