This post, authored by Troy Hunt, highlights a significant milestone in the push for a secure web: Chrome 68 flagging all non-secure connections as 'Not secure.' It frames this as addressing a fundamental design flaw of the original unencrypted web and emphasizes the increasing adoption of HTTPS, citing data on its rapid growth. The post details the risks of unencrypted sites, even static ones, and positions Cloudflare as a solution for easily enabling HTTPS, which also unlocks performance benefits like HTTP/2 and Brotli.
