Google Chrome To Offer HTTPS-Only Mode
https://9to5google.comThe latest change for HTTP & HTTPS in Chrome is the upcoming addition of an “HTTPS-Only Mode,” as laid out in a new code change. As is the case with most new Chrome features, it will initially be hidden behind a flag in chrome://flags. HTTPS-Only Mode Setting
Once the feature is available, a new setting for HTTPS-Only Mode will appear in Chrome’s settings — on the “Security” page, under the “Advanced” heading — as a simple toggle to “Always use secure connections.” By default, the toggle will be set to disabled.
If you decide to turn the toggle on, Chrome will automatically “upgrade” any website you try to browse from the HTTP version to HTTPS, if available. Since Chrome already defaults to using HTTPS if you don’t specify http:// or https://, this is essentially limited to links that you may click or times when you manually type in an http:// url into the address bar.
