Google is Marking HTTP Connections as Non-Secure

Google has announced that it will start marking HTTP connections as “non-secure” on its browser Chrome

From Chrome 56 (expected to be released in January 2017), Google will start marking HTTP sites as “non-secure” in an effort to highlight users the risk of sending sensitive information on HTTP sites, as well to encourage webmasters to adopt the more secure HTTPS protocol on their websites.

Current and previous versions of Chrome do not highlight HTTP traffic with any special indicator (as they do with HTTPS traffic). According to the company, “users do not perceive the lack of a ‘secure’ icon as a warning”. Regular HTTP protocol sends information unencrypted, being this a dangerous practice, especially when transmitting passwords and credit card numbers, that an attacker can easily intercept.

I thought that it didn't make a difference, but Google recommends webmasters to start moving to HTTPS, arguing that this feature is cheaper and easier than ever before. It also enables powerful new features, such as user media sharing, that are too sensitive for HTTP connections.
