Chrome Browser v68 – Will your site be “Not Secure”?

Earlier this year, Google announced that their Chrome browser v68 update will warn users that any non-HTTPS site is “Not Secure”.  The release date for this update is slated for July 2018 – this month!

Check out what the Chrome browser will display (from the Chromium Blog):

Over the past years, Google has been slowly pushing all sites to be under SSL. Their efforts thus far shows that over 60% of Chrome traffic is now protected. Now that a majority of sites are protected, Google is moving to their next phase, which is to use their large install base of the Chrome browser to push even further.  From our research, the update hasn’t made it out yet but it is slated for this month.
