![]() Obviously, Google or Apple telling your visitors that your site’s not secure is going to have an impact on your bottom line. Chrome is expected to upgrade its security warning next Spring to the point it will tag any website without encryption. That prevents eavesdropping and Man-in-the-middle attacks.Įventually, the browsers plan to mark any webpage served via HTTP as “Not Secure.”įor now, though, the warnings are being slowly rolled out to give website owners and hosting companies an opportunity to prepare. SSL secures the connections between a website and its visitors with encryption. Google, Mozilla and Apple (with Microsoft sure to follow suit) want you to install an SSL certificate and migrate to HTTPS. Of course, this is all part of a bigger plan by the browsers to mandate HTTPS. Granted Apple has a much different UI than either of the other browsers, but it’s taking too many liberties in the name of aesthetics. Mozilla seems to be more in line with that think than with Apple’s. Google’s practically slap you in the face. As you can see above, Apple doesn’t warn you unless you click the Smart Search field.įrankly, I don’t think Apple is being explicit enough with these indicators. The difference is Google and Mozilla put their security warnings right beside the URL in the address bar. Since then the warning has expanded to any site with a text field served via HTTP. This is not exactly what Google and Mozilla have been doing all year, though it is similar.Ĭhrome and Firefox both began marking sites with non-secure password fields “Not Secure” back in January. Now a security warning will show in the Smart Search field (the address bar) when users interact with a password or credit card form on a non-secure page.Īnd if you miss the warning, you’ll be prompted with this message – which is already active in the current version of Safari (11).
