Effective July 2018, the Chrome browser will begin labeling sites without HTTPS as “Not secure”. This represents a significant change; many more people will encounter these warnings as a result. Previously, Chrome only showed this warning indicator after someone entered text into a form on HTTP-only pages.
The image below, taken from the Chrome team’s blog announcement posted last week, illustrates the upcoming change:
With Chrome having approximately 60% of the desktop and mobile market share, sites without HTTPS should rightfully be concerned with how their users will perceive the “Not secure” indicator.
