We can say this is Google’s most forceful attempt to encourage adoption of SSL certificates. Chrome browser will start labeling HTTP websites “Not Secure”. Google Chrome 68 is set to be released in July, will come with this special feature to hit websites with unsecured connections.
The move is a part of Google’s several attempts to push the usage of HTTPS as much as possible. Earlier, Google had started to give higher-ranking in its search results for the web pages that used HTTPS protocol.

The browsers also began marking HTTP sites “Not Secure.” This was done more gradually. The warnings started out just warning users when they were about to enter a password in an unencrypted field. Then in the Fall they turned up the volume even more and started marking any HTTP page with text fields “Not Secure.” Now, with the release of Chrome 68 in July, Google is cranking it up to 11. Any website served via HTTP is going to get the “Not Secure” indicator.
