Web Browser @ how it’s tells you when it’s safe - Web Security

Web Browser @ how it’s tells you when it’s safe - Web Security

Here's how other browsers currently handle website security and what changes they have coming.

The advice from security experts when browsing the Web - to "look for the padlock." Starting in July, the search giant will mark insecure URLs in its market-dominant Chrome, not those that already are secure.

Google's goal? Pressure all website owners to adopt digital certificates and encrypt the traffic of all their pages.

Unlike Safari, Firefox and Chrome, Edge does not proffer special warnings when the user visits an HTTP site sporting important input fields, like those dedicated to passwords or credit card numbers.
