As of today, I am unable to access the IGN forums when I'm signed into my account on bother Firefox and Chrome. Both browsers are on their most up to date versions, and I was able to access IGN forums the other day without error. However, recently, both browsers flag the site as neither dangerous or safe in the address bar. I've tried to use HTTPS before the URL and no such luck, site won't even load up. I know there is the extension that forces HTTPS, supposedly, but I haven't used it as it's just asking for problems, breaking other sites, etc.

I get this message on Firefox, Chrome, and Edge

And I can't figure out why. You used to be able to continue anyway with the "details" tab once it was expanded, but now, I can't. I've made no changes to anything yesterday or today, maybe there's adware, malware, something, but it's beyond frustrating. I've reported this to Google, IGN tech staff, no responses at all from either team, and others are able to access it, maybe it's my ISP, I don't know. Is there absolutely no way around this that won't put my PC at risk, like not disabling Chrome's web protection option (the one that blocks malicious sites)?

There has to be around this, but I've found no solution at all. I don't want to have to do this with every site that freaks out over false positives. What's weird is that this only happens when I sign in with my credentials and clear the cookies. But the second I do sign in, and cookies are made, it all goes to hell, why? Is this because of that recent General Data Protection Regulation BS or what? I have noticed IGN acting weirder than normal, like yesterday, all the images and text boxes were broken on both FF and Chrome, I get logged out randomly, and locked out when I use my right password, lots of weird issues on their side.

This isn't Chrome or Firefox, read what it says. This is the website operator finding something suspicious in one of their forums and self blocking it.
