Google Chrome help Users to be secure from insecure websites.

         Google is running a new Chrome feature that will automatically lead users away from websites that are insecure and still use HTTP. Lead users to sites that use HTTPS instead of HTTP. Google has long been a proponent of using HTTPS, and since 2018 it has begun to mark all HTTP sites as "unsafe" in the Chrome browser. 

When this secure browsing mode arrives - with Chrome 93 or 94 - it is expected to be available on Chrome for Web, Android, and Chrome OS. Once activated, the 'HTTPS-only mode' will appear on the Security page in Chrome.

According to a new post on the Chromium Gerrit website, Google plans to add "HTTPS-only mode" to Chrome. Once this 'HTTPS only mode' is available in Google Chrome, the new toggle "Always use secure connections" is going to be added to Chrome's security settings under the "Advanced" tab. If you toggle it, Google is going to upgrade “all navigation to HTTPS” and will warn you before loading any website that does not support it. The new code describes it as HTTPS only mode configuration to select the HTTPS only mode. - Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android. 

The latest change for HTTP & HTTPS in Chrome is the upcoming addition of an “HTTPS-Only Mode,” as laid out in a new code change. As is the case with most new Chrome features, it will initially be hidden behind a flag in chrome://flags.

HTTPS-Only Mode Setting

Adds a setting under chrome://settings/security to opt-in to HTTPS-Only Mode. — Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android

Once thr feature is available,Users will be able to find it under Settings > Security > Advanced menu.

This HTTPS only mode will be toggled by default (disabled), however, Chrome already defaults to using HTTPS unless you specifically type http: // or https: /. / When entering the URL of a website in the address bar. If for some reason an HTTPS version of the website you are looking for is not available and you need to use the Chrome HTTP version, it is going to show you a warning page first. Google will protect sites that allow you to bypass HTTPS-only mode, so Chrome will not ask or warn you again the next time you visit those sites.
