Google through Chromium is now informing users, stating that they will soon enable the use of HTTPS for all users of their web browsers.
Today, over 90% of Chrome usage involves HTTPS sites, and there are around 5%-10% of browsing involving HTTP sites. For now, Chrome simply displays a warning in the URL bar, stating that the site is not encrypted and that browsing may be vulnerable and have security threats.
Moving forward, automatic updates will be implemented starting with Chrome 115, where all http:// links will be automatically converted to https:// first. However, if the site does not offer https support (such as the absence of a certificate, etc.), then Chrome will navigate to the site under http://.
Google stated that although it may not offer complete protection, this move will begin to prioritize the use of HTTPS first in an effort to provide protection to users. Google will also provide additional warnings and notifications when users download involving http:// sites.
