Chrome Getting HTTPS-first Mode As Google Plans To Replace The Address Bar Lock Icon With A Full-page Warning For HTTP

Chrome is rolling out an HTTPS-First Mode and experimenting with a replacement for the lock icon in the address bar.

The first expansion is an HTTPS-First Mode that will start rolling out with Chrome 94 in September. All page visits will first try to load over HTTPS. On sites that don’t work, the Google browser will show a full-page warning before connecting over HTTP.
