Google said that in 2018 the Google Chrome browser will mark all websites that do not use HTTPS encryption as "insecure".
That means anyone website που δεν εμφανίζει ένα πράσινο λουκέτο, θα χαρακτηρίζεται σαν μη ασφαλής στη γραμμή διευθύνσεων του προletterof browsing.
Emily Schechter, Product Management Manager security of Google Chrome, he confirmed with a post on company blog that the changes will come into effect with the release of Chrome 68 in July.
"In recent years we have been striving for a more secure web, strongly supporting sites that adopt HTTPS encryption," the blog post said Thursday.
It seems that Google's effort is escalating, gradually pushing more and more webmasters to adopt the HTTPS protocol, a safe encryption standard.
Please note that using HTTPS means that data sent from your computer or device to a website is safely transported and can not be intercepted by an attacker.
Google has used several other tactics, including better ranking of sites that use HTTPS in search results, as an incentive for webmasters to adopt technology.
