Google's new security feature

Google has begun developing a new security feature in the Google Chrome browser called HTTPS-First Mode that allows users to connect to the Internet more securely than ever before.

It is slated to be added to Chrome 94, which is scheduled to be released in late September or early October.

How it works?

The feature attempts to establish a connection to websites using the HTTPS protocol to protect your data and privacy when browsing. If the website does not support HTTPS, the browser displays a full screen warning telling you that the connection is not secure.

Google also says that the HTTPS-First Mode feature is optional at first, meaning the user can turn it on or off, but the default mode may become depending on user feedback.

Although the feature has not yet been officially launched in Google Chrome, users of the Canary version of the browser can turn it on via the experimental settings menu called Flags.

To do this, follow these steps:

Copy the following address: chrome://flags/#https-only-mode-setting and paste it into the address bar and press enter on your keyboard.

Select Enable on the left side of the feature and then restart your Google Chrome browser to activate the changes.

To access the option to use the new secure connections, you can visit the advanced security settings page in the Google Chrome browser.

Other security features

In addition to the HTTPS-First Mode feature, Google is also introducing a new icon in the browser to indicate the privacy and security information of a site that uses the HTTPS protocol.

You currently see a lock icon in the far left of the address bar when you visit a secure website. However, Google has found that very few people are aware of the existence of this symbol. To do this, the company has experimented with replacing the lock with a down arrow, which can be used to access the privacy and security information of the current location.

In addition, these upcoming updates to the browser are among the company's plans to shift away from the regular HTTP protocol to the more secure HTTPS over the Internet in recent years.

The encryption and additional security provided by HTTPS also help protect against website hacking that leads to user data theft.
