Quote:Google will add an HTTPS-First Mode to the Chrome web browser to block attackers from intercepting or eavesdropping users' web traffic.
"Beginning in M94, Chrome will offer HTTPS-First Mode, which will attempt to upgrade all page loads to HTTPS and display a full-page warning before loading sites that don't support it." Google said.
"Users who enable this mode gain confidence that Chrome is connecting them to sites over HTTPS whenever possible, and that they will see a warning before connecting to sites over HTTP."
By upgrading all connections to websites to HTTPS, Google Chrome 94 will protect users from man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks trying to snoop on or alter data exchanged with Internet servers over the unencrypted HTTP protocol.
BleepingComputer has reported earlier this month that Google's web browser will get an HTTPS-Only Mode for secure browsing.
The new feature is currently being tested in the Chrome 93 Canary preview releases for Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, and Android.
