Chrome browser will add https prefix to the URL entered by the user by default

At present, more and more websites around the world have used HTTPS URL prefixes, which brings better security to users, and it is not easy to intercept account passwords logged in in plain text.

In the past few years, browsers such as Firefox and Chrome have been implementing the HTTPS protocol. According to the ZDNet news, the Google Chrome browser is about to add new features. If the user does not add the prefix HTTP:// when entering the URL, the browser will add HTTPS:// by default.

Although 82% of the world’s websites are currently using HTTPS, there are still many websites that have not been updated. Google plans to launch the Chrome 90 version in April this year to bring this feature.
