    Chromium to start marking HTTP as insecure
    The Chromium development team has posted
    a plan
    to start actively marking web pages served with HTTP as not
    being secure. "We know that people do not generally perceive the
    absence of a warning sign...
    Yet the only situation in which web browsers are guaranteed
    not to warn users is precisely when there is no chance of security: when
    the origin is transported via HTTP.
