Chrome enables warnings for insecure HTTP sites by default

Google has turned on Chrome's "Always Use Secure Connections" setting by default for all users. The browser now warns before loading insecure HTTP sites, though it won't repeatedly warn about approved sites. The optional toggle, introduced in 2022, was previously limited to Enhanced Protection users.

• "Always Use Secure Connections" is now on by default for all Chrome users
• A warning appears before loading an HTTP site, letting users back out
• Approved HTTP sites won't trigger repeated warnings
• The feature debuted in 2022 and was tested in Enhanced Protection mode
