Given the adoption rate of SSL, I imagine the padlock itself will become useless even without Chrome's changes. Does it mean anything if almost every website has it?
- nyolfen 8y agoideally it means no passive snooping
- tialaramex 8y agoThe clearly announced intent of at least Mozilla and Google (and I'd assume Apple and Microsoft but I don't pay as much attention) is to focus on highlighting the insecure state because that has much better security UX. Labeling one site you visit today "Not Secure" stands out. With luck it might be enough that you don't type in your credit card details.
- CydeWeys 8y agoThat's why Chrome is moving away from showing the padlock to displaying "Not secure" for sites that aren't secure. The padlock will be going away entirely; secure is the default state.
