Google Chrome 90 will make HTTPS by default
When a user enters an incomplete URL in the Chrome address bar, for example, meterpreter.org, in the past, by default, Chrome would load the domain name through HTTP in advance. After all, in order to save time, most users do not enter the https:// protocol in the address bar.
As part of the Chrome 90 update, Google will change this situation. Google recently announced in a blog that when a user enters a URL in the address bar without specifying a protocol, and the website being visited already supports HTTPS, then Chrome will use the more secure HTTPS by default.
The new default option will be the first to land on the Chrome browser for desktop and Android and then will be rolled out to the Chrome browser on iOS.
The HTTPS protocol encrypts any information transmitted on the network to resist potential attacks, so security is more guaranteed. At present, mainstream websites already support this protocol. Of course, if a website does not support HTTPS, the browser will switch to HTTP instead. However, Chrome will still remind you of the risks of visiting HTTP sites.
In addition to being more secure, this change will also reduce loading time because it bypasses the redirection from HTTP to HTTPS for some websites that already support the HTTPS protocol.
