Google Chrome browser will blocked sites without HTTPS
04.11.25
Google announced that starting in October 2026, the “Always use secure connections” mode will automatically be enabled in the Chrome browser for all users. This means that when you try to open a site without HTTPS, the browser will display a warning about the possible danger of the connection.
Chrome already warns about problems with the HTTPS configuration, but a future update will extend this feature to resources that work exclusively via HTTP. Thus, Google seeks to reduce the risks of transmitting data in unencrypted form.
According to the company’s estimates, between 95% and 99% of all connections in Chrome are now via HTTPS. This level of encryption, according to the developers, allows you to gradually limit the use of the old protocol. Most often, secure certificates are still missing on small private sites, for which the procedure for obtaining an SSL certificate remains more complicated.
Before making the changes mandatory, Google plans to conduct a test in April 2026 among users with Enhanced Safe Browsing enabled. Those who do not want to see the new warnings can disable the “Always use secure connections” option in their browser settings.
