Chrome will be experimenting with defaulting to https:// if the site supports it, even when an http:// link is used and will warn about downloads from insecure sources for “high-risk files” (example given is an exe). They’re also planning on enabling it by default for Incognito Mode and “sites that Chrome knows you typically access over HTTPS”.
I have, and for quite some time when I was trying to set Https up.
It’s really bad IMO to “decide what the user wants” even if this is both discussable and a very small step, it is a step towards that.
