I can confirm this is an issue on chromium version 53.0.2785.143-1, which is currently the latest version in the repo. The error message that appears in chromium that indicates this is an error is: Attackers might be trying to steal your information from <<redacted website host>> (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERTIFICATE_TRANSPARENCY_REQUIRED |

the new version of chromium in kali-rolling (55.0.2883.75-3) fixes this issue. |
