"Obsolete cryptography" does NOT refer to SHA-1. It refers to using old cipher suites which are not viewed as secure.

One of the security team engineers also acknowledged that this is an unclear warning and that they are working on it.

What's also odd is that it says "obsolete security" in that section of the security pane, but it still has a green lock next to it, not the yellow warning. So the text says one thing and the iconography says another, which is very confusing.


Yes, I agree,Its not ideal. But I follow the industry very closely and I trust that Google's team is working on it and nearing some major improvements.
