Security warnings will pop up on the Daily Mail website today if visitors are using the latest version of Google's Chrome browser.
It is one of many sites the browser will flag because they do not use HTTPS - the secure version of the web's underlying data transfer protocol.
Many sites have switched to this version to protect visitors against data theft and hijacking.
About 20% of the world's top 500 websites are using HTTP.
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) defines how data is passed around the web. The "S" in HTTPS stands for "Secure" and ensures that data is encrypted before it travels.
Well, we had a thread about this on the old board, from when it was first announced - and, the general consensus was that it was a bit overboard on Chrome's part.
Fortunately, it hasn't had a major impact on my browsing experience (I don't even notice the 'Not Secure' warnings unless I look for them )
