Google announced About transition in the release of Chrome 90 , the release of which is scheduled for April 13, to the opening of the default sites through HTTPS when the host names are set in the address bar. For example, when entering an EXAMPLE.COM host, the site will be opened by https://example.com, and if problems have arisen, rollback will be performed until https://example.com. Previously, this feature has already been activated for a small percentage of Chrome 89 users and now the experiment is recognized as successful and ready for ubiquitous implementation.
Recall that, despite the great job of promoting HTTPS in browsers, when the domain is set in the address bar without specifying the protocol, the default continues to be used “http: //”. To solve this problem in FireFox 83, the optional “HTTPS only” mode was implemented, in which all requests executed without encryption are automatically redirected to the protected pages (“http: //” is replaced by “https: //”). The replacement is not limited to the address string and also works for the sites clearly opened by “http: //”, as well as when loading resources inside the page. If the forwarder on https: // ends with a timeout, the user is shown a page with an error on which a button is present to execute the “http: //” request.
