Kevin, did you catch a glimpse of the previous article? I'll send it to 
you rather than reposting it if you missed seeing it.

Subject: [Njtechdiv] Chrome to hides secure links

You can bet I will be talking about this on my show.  I don't agree with
what Google is doing at all.  We should never just assume something is
secure.  It's laughable.  Thank you for providing this information.

Google's at it again:

Google to remove "secure" indicator from HTTPS pages on Chrome

By Stephanie Condon

As part of its push to make the web safer, Google on Thursday said
    it will stop marking HTTPS pages as "secure."

The logic behind the move, Google explained, is that "users should
expect that the web is safe by default." It will remove the green
padlock and "secure" wording from the address bar beginning with Chrome
69 in September.

Google previously announced that it would mark HTTP pages as " not
secure" beginning with Chrome 68 in July.

By October with Chrome 70, Google will start showing a red "not secure"
warning when users enter data on HTTP pages. "Previously, HTTP usage was
too high to mark all HTTP pages with a strong red warning," Google said.

Google has taken other steps to encourage the use of HTTPS, a secure
encryption standard for data in transit. For instance, the company has
ranked sites with HTTPS higher in its search results.

There are some free and easy ways to secure a website.

For instance, the non-profit Internet Security Research Group (ISRG)'s
Let's Encrypt offers free SSL certificates.
