I think one solution would be to make the secure badge more prominent, thus when insecure your eye would be attracted to it. One solution would to be make the entire background color of the secure badge green and invert "Secure" text white.
- lozenge 8y agoThat's basically the approach taken so far and it hasn't worked. Users don't notice these decorations. Chrome wants to move away from the "Secure" wording because people don't understand what it means, for example, they think it means they can trust the site not to misuse their credit card details.
- danieldk 8y agoWell, it doesn't help that the text (when clicking on 'Secure') says: Your information (for example, passwords and credit card numbers) is private when it is sent to this site. To the layman this means: Chrome says it is safe to enter credentials on this site (and not that it just means that it is hard to eavesdrop on the connection), especially that because this does not say anything about the trustworthiness of the site.
- nsgi 8y agoHow would you phrase it instead, that would communicate the nuances of the issue and allow the lay user to assess the risk?
- anabala 8y agoPeople are quickly getting 'warning' fatigue. Endless popups on websites warning them about cookies?! Asking them to accept stupid privacy policies, alerting them to gdpr rules. The internet is fast becoming unusable because of all this utter nonsense.
- OskarS 8y agoI think it should be more prominent than that: make it the size and style of the "do you want to accept notifications?" dialog. It should be unmissable by users that they're on an insecure site.
- Jaruzel 8y ago... only if it did it for non private IP ranges. Otherwise all your home stuff would constantly be throwing up notifications.
