The latest version of Google Chrome, 70, is expected to be released on October 16 and will give a warning to websites that are believed to be unsafe by the browser.
Earlier in May, the technology company outlined its plan to mark the HTTP website as "unsafe". The decision is part of Google's initiative to move the site to HTTPS format.
HTTPS is an encryption standard that provides safer connections between users and online pages, as revealed by Express on Sunday (10/14/2018).
The current Chrome version, 69, has marked web pages using the HTTPS format with keys to show that they are trusted.
However, Chrome 70 will better distinguish between HTTPS and HTTP by labeling the latter as "unsafe" next to the page URL.
A warning sign and the words "unsafe" will be displayed in red. "Previously, the use of HTTP was too high to mark all HTTP pages with strong red warnings, but in October 2018 (Chrome 70), we will start displaying a 'unsafe' red warning when users enter data on an HTTP page," Google said.
"We hope this change continues to open the way for a web that is easy to use safely, by default. HTTPS is cheaper and easier than before, and opens up strong capabilities, so don't wait to migrate to HTTPS !," explained the technology giant from Mountain View that.
