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?
