T-25 days until Chrome starts flagging HTTP sites as "Not Secure"

Starting from July 23rd, Google will prominently label any site loaded in Chrome without HTTPS as "Not Secure". This move is aimed at encouraging more websites to adopt HTTPS for secure browsing and data protection. Despite the progress made since last year, a significant number of popular sites still do not support HTTPS. The misconceptions that HTTPS is difficult or slow to deploy are debunked by pointing out advancements in encryption protocols and the availability of free SSL certificates from providers like Cloudflare and Let's Encrypt. Additionally, using HTTPS can improve SEO rankings and provide access to new web features. To avoid being labeled "Not Secure", website owners need to obtain an SSL certificate and configure their site to redirect all traffic to HTTPS.
