Chrome users who visit some HTTP sites will be notified, starting in January 201 7, they are on a site that is is is notsecure.
Google said today the browser will begin explicitly labeling HTTP connections which either a password or credit card form as non-secure. The company said the plan is the first step toward marking all HTTP sites as non-secure, even though it didn’t provide a timetable for the undertaking.
A member of Chrome’s Security Team named Emily Schechter, alerted users of the planned move in a post to Google’s Security blog. The company said the move will improve on the browser’s current iteration of a warnung, which generally indicates HTTP connections using a neutral indicator. Its a matter of time before Google marks all HTTP pages as non-secure and use the same small red triangle it currently uses for broken HTTPS sites.
