FN-GM Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Chrome will soon start to display websites as not secure if they are running over http. The message will look something (maybe not as obvious) like the below. All our websites run over https anyway for mainly SEO purposes. Get ready for confused users! Google's Chrome is about to get rather in-your-face about HTTPS ? The Register Edited January 31, 2017 by FN-GM
localzuk Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 All this sort of thing does is make users ignore security warnings.

FN-GM Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 I wonder if alphabet own a stake in Comodo/Symantec. Probably not as Google donate to Lets Encrypt and they are also setting up their own root CA.
Arthur Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) I wonder if alphabet own a stake in Comodo/Symantec. It was due to Symantec's incompetency* with certificates that lead Google to setup their own certificate authority (pki.goog).
