Re: Proposal: Marking HTTP As Non-Secure

Chris,

I'm a big fan of this rather progressive move from Google over the 
"Marking HTTP As Non-Secure".

1) Do you have any plans to make this feature enabled by default in 2016?
2) Do you have any plans to coordinate the change with other browsers; 
at least FireFox?

Thanks again.
- Jim

PS: Regarding "/There are no plans, at the moment, to add a No 
Skateboarding sign to Chrome/" what about the "no parking on bridge" sign?
