The results of Google's efforts to increase security have come out. This is the result of issuing warnings to websites not encrypted with 'https in Chrome'. It has been found that 64% of Chrome's traffic on Android devices is safe now, which was 42% a year ago. 

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (https) is a secure edition of HTTP. This is a protocol through which data is exchanged between your browser and the website you are connected to. Chrome's security product manager Emily Shearer wrote in a blog post that a year ago, we had announced that all the websites that are not encrypted with HTTPS will mark them as "not safe" on Chrome.

Sheerer said that "We wanted to help people understand that the website that they are opening is not safe. We knew that it would take time, and that's why we started the mark only for pages with no encryption, which used to store passwords or credit card information."

75% of Chrome's traffic on Chrome operating system (OS) and Mac is now safe, which was 60% on Mac a year ago and 67% on Chrome. According to the post, out of the 100 websites on the web, 71 sites are by default on HTTPS, whose number was 37 a year ago.
