Google is working on making its Chrome browser safer for users. The tech giant had been warning websites on using HTTPS instead of HTTP since January this year. Taking another step ahead for security, Chrome has announced that it will mark HTTP pages as “not secure” in the address bar whenever the user enters data on the web page.
The company had been using this technique with Chrome 56 that was launched in January this year. It marked HTTP sites “Not secure” whenever user entered password or credit card fields. This step by Google gained 23% decline in the use of such pages on desktops.

I personally applaud Google for taking the steps needed to help secure the masses who do not have the tech know-how to do it themselves and forcing us IT folks to offer secure things to our consumers.
Started my latest entrepreneurial project in May 2016 with Farmhouse Networking - a Grants Pass, OR based Managed Service Provider using Autotask suite of products with Webroot Secure Anywhere integration for all my managed clients.
This will go right over the heads of the average user who has no idea as to the difference between HTTPS/HTTP, and would not not know how to react...so in material terms this will have little or no effect ...and as per usual Google are bigging this up and trying to make us think that they care...they are doing it for other reasons...I am sure.

In Google, click on “Settings”
Click on Privacy & Security, then “Insecure Content”
Here you can add the website to allow in Google Chrome and the “Unsecure” notification disappears.

I’m sorry, I was just reviewing my “notes” that I wrote to answer this online. Unfortunately, I confused myself. I so apologize for this. So, I found out and am including the steps to adding specific websites on your google browser. Here it is:
1. Settings
2. Privacy & security
3. Site settings
4. Additional content settings
5. Insecure content:
a. Click on “add” under “allow” to allow specific website;
b. Type (or paste) the website URL that is shown to be insecure.
c. Click on “add”, and it’s added.
You shouldn’t see that “nonsecure website” at the top (where the URL is) but if you do, try logging out of what you’re doing and/or close your browser and restart your browser. Hopefully, that should take care of it. If that doesn’t work, you might need to restart your computer.

Because, I just saw it this week. I forget to look at the dates. But, also, thought someone might benefit from it. I do that on Facebook too. LOL. Can’t help it.
