Summary

In July 2018, Google's Chrome browser began flagging all non-secure connections as "not secure." This move is part of a broader effort to drive site owners towards a more secure web by addressing the design flaws of the original unencrypted web. The push for HTTPS has seen significant growth in recent years, with many large websites adopting it by default. Despite this progress, some website owners still question the necessity of secure connections for sites without the need for confidentiality. However, as Google continues to move towards a "secure by default" web, the adoption of HTTPS is likely to become even more widespread.
