When you load a website over HTTP, someone else on the network can look at or modify the site before it gets to you,\u201d said Google.<\/p>\n<p>Studies show that users do not perceive the lack of a \u201csecure\u201d icon as a warning, but become blind to warnings that occur too frequently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur plan to label HTTP sites more clearly and accurately as non-secure will take place in gradual steps.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Google plans to label all HTTP pages as non-secure, and change the HTTP security indicator to the red triangle it uses for broken HTTPS.<\/p>\n<p><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\" href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HTTP.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-179192\" src=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HTTP.png\" alt=\"http\" width=\"640\" height=\"251\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\" href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HTTP-Eventual.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-179194\" src=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/HTTP-Eventual.png\" alt=\"http-eventual\" width=\"400\" height=\"194\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More on Chrome<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/software\/175459-chrome-will-start-to-block-flash.html\"><strong>Chrome will start to block Flash<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/software\/174614-chrome-52-for-android-released.html\"><strong>Chrome 52 for Android released<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/broadcasting\/169793-google-chrome-bug-makes-it-easier-to-copy-netflix-movies.html\"><strong>Google Chrome bug makes it easier to copy Netflix movies<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beginning in January 2017, Chrome will mark HTTP sites that transmit passwords or credit card details as non-secure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":148427,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[36,1567,167,20855,21905],"class_list":["post-179188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-security","tag-active","tag-chrome","tag-google","tag-http","tag-https"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179188"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179188"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":179198,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179188\/revisions\/179198"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
