Resolves to the year a normal user running the default installation of Google Chrome first needs to take additional actions (confirmation dialog, option change etc.) before seeing the contents of a website that is not using https.
1,000Chrome 154 is out, which is supposed to be the version that enables this by default: https://developer.chrome.com/release-notes/154#ask_before_http_on_by_default
However, I wasn't able to confirm this on Linux. (It only gives the warning in Incognito, which I believe has been in place for some time.) I tried to make sure this was a fresh installation of the browser and deleted the directory containing my user data. Is anyone else able to confirm this, perhaps on a different operating system?

One year from now, with the release of Chrome 154 in October 2026, we will change the default settings of Chrome to enable “Always Use Secure Connections”. This means Chrome will ask for the user's permission before the first access to any public site without HTTPS.
