Chrome 70 will mark many sites as insecure, even if they use HTTPS

The safety of Chrome users is a priority for Google, although that means having to surround and point out certain types of web pages, something that is becoming usual lately with the launch of each new browser update.

First were those that had not implemented the HTTPS format correctly and in time. With the future release of Chrome 70, it will be the websites that have Symantec's HTTPS certificate, which will be marked as potentially unsafe for users.

Needless to say, this is a threat to these websites, and is that users tend not to visit a page when Chrome tells them that it endangers their security. In fact, many do not even know how to skip the warning thrown by the browser and "force" the entry to the page.
This measure of security of Google Chrome is produced by the various reports that indicate the laxity of Symantec regarding their certificates, sometimes issued by companies that have not followed all the necessary steps to ensure that a website with this certificate will not steal data of your visitors.

With the jump to HTTPS given by Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Chrome, the Internet has gained a lot in security and confidence for those who visit an unknown page. It is much more difficult to intercept confidential information, even if you are connected to a public Wi-Fi network, although it is certainly not impossible at all.

It also recently implemented the so-called isolation of websites, a measure that prevents access from a simple Chrome tab to the process generated by a different tab.

It is not ruled out that Chrome will undertake more measures like this in the future. Being the main browser for a large part of PC and mobile users, it has this lever to force web administrators and platforms to follow its guidelines. Otherwise, they would have no access to much of their public.
