Starting from Chrome 90 to access non-full URLs, HTTPS connections are enabled by default

Currently, after we enter an incomplete URL address (such as cnbeta.com) in the Chrome address bar, the domain name will be loaded via HTTP by default. However, at the beginning of the Chrome 90 version update launched today, Google announced that it will enable more secure HTTPS by default. The new default settings will apply to the desktop and Android versions of the browser, and the iOS Chrome browser will follow up.

If the website you visit does not support HTTPS, Chrome will switch to HTTP again. This can also happen when there is a certificate error or connection problem. This protocol encrypts any information transmitted on the network to defend against potential attacks. Of course, Google will still remind you of the risks of visiting HTTP sites.

In addition to security, the latest change will also reduce loading time because it bypasses the redirection from HTTP to HTTPS for some websites that already support the HTTPS protocol. For a long time, Google has been promoting HTTPS as the default protocol for data transmission. With the release of Chrome 90, Google is trying to solve this loophole and prevent users from opening insecure domain names.
