Strange to see what kinds of things that Chrome leads the way on, and what things it's a distant follower to other browsers on. I'd wonder what value Google would derive from staying with HTTP as a default, but I can't think of anything offhand.

  Your FF link is about a different functionality. FF has used https by default, with fallback into http for addresses you write for a really long time.
