One year from now, with the release of Chrome 154 in October 2026, we will change the default settings of Chrome to enable “Always Use Secure Connections”. This means Chrome will ask for the user’s permission before the first access to any public site without HTTPS.

      Firefox 91.0 (August 2021) set HTTPS as default for private tabs. Firefox 129.0 (August 2024) did it for general tabs.

      It’s about the setting defaulting to on. When did Firefox change that? When they first introduced it I had to set it manually and I don’t know when/if that changed.

        I did not set it manually but I added that addon that did that. I swear chrome did the same thing though. I don’t recall it going to an http with no warning in the recent decade.
