This is great for security, but bad for the web overall. It really highlights just how much power Google has over the web. I would also say that the shift has been less about chrome displaying not secure and more about SSL being a Google search signal.
SSL should be used everywhere, but the reason for it is truly scary and shows a slow shift away from the open web.
- tinus_hn 9y agoFirefox displays similar warnings if a site requests login and it isn’t secure. There is no conspiracy here.
- bhhaskin 9y agoThe warnings are only a small part of whats driving the change. The change in search ranking signaling is causing anyone that cares about "SEO" to make SSL a requirement. Just like how the change in signals for mobile has pushed just about every site into responsive design.
