Nothing happens when I click CMD + option + J or when I hold control and click I don't see the option to inspect either

In JavaScript Basics it tells you to CMD + option + J or hold control and click > inspect. Nothing happens either way.

In the address bar it says Not Secure as well. What do I do?

If you're on a MacBook, the "CMD + option + J" would apply. If you're on a PC, the same commands wouldn't work. But the alternate way to access the console, would be to right click anywhere on the webpage and then select inspect. The console would appear that way as well.

It looks like you are on Mac, so use Google Chrome as your browser to open course and you will see that both keyboard shortcuts and right click on the page will work.
