Not Secure

With the popularity of HTTPS, browser developers such as Mozilla are ready to take the next step: Mark all HTTP sites as insecure. Let’s Encrypt CA According to the statistics, in November 2017, the proportion of HTTPS-enabled pages load in Firefox accounted for 67%, compared to 45% at the end of a huge upgrade.

When Firefox loads a web page, it indicates whether the connection is safe by the icon on the left of the address bar, the secure sign on the HTTPS website, and the HTTP web site does not have a visually obvious warning sign “Not Secure”. Mozilla plans to change the way in the future: its current release of Firefox Nightly Edition (v59) includes a confidential configuration option that will reveal obvious links to unsafe warning signs to HTTP sites when activated.
