Chrome giving the boot to non-https web sites.
Starting in July 2018, the Chrome browser will begin labeling sites that do not use https:// as "Not secure."
The previous policy was that the Chrome browser only showed this type of warning after someone entered text into a form on http web pages. It has been rumored or even officially stated that at some point, http web sites will not be indexed by major search engines. This means the warning messages are there to get your attention as a site owner, before they give your web site the boot, entirely.
In other words, if you don't have SSL enabled on your web sites yet, you better get your butt in gear because time is running out. Chrome has about 60% of the browser market share right now so you may want to consider the fact that, more than 1 out of every 2 site visitor will get a security warning on your site if you do not have SSL enabled.
The good news is, you can now get SSL for very cheap or even free. Check out Let's Encrypt for free SSL options or ask your web host if they already have it integrated for you.

If you liked this, please vote for me as a witness! Witness votes are different than regular upvotes. As a Steemit member, you can vote for 30 witnesses and change your vote at any time. It does not cost you anything other than one of your 30 votes to vote for a witness.
A witness helps to power the Steem blockchain, which is one of the critical components which makes steemit.com work. Without witnesses, there is no Steem blockchain and no steemit.com. Witnesses contribute servers, bandwidth, electricity, their time and technical support among other things, at their own expense. By voting for a witness, you help offset these costs.
