HTTPS or bust: Chrome’s plan to label sites as "Not Secure"

What's this blog post about?

Google has announced that starting from July 2018, with the release of Chrome 68, web pages loaded without HTTPS will be marked as "not secure". This change is expected to affect more than half of web visitors. The primary motivation for this move by Google is to ensure a safe browsing experience which benefits their business model. Currently, the ratio of user interaction with secure origins to non-secure sits at 69.7%.
