Your web browser and underlying operating system has well crafted and standardised techniques to ensure that the website you’re trying to visit passes some basic standards to ensure that:

a) The site is actually the site you intend to visit, and
b) a high level of privacy and integrity is maintained in your communications with that site.

This is your web browser protecting you from basic pitfalls like a good boy.
(Do not use that small option to bypass the warning.)
