Google Chrome will block non-secure file downloads on HTTPS pages
10 February, 2020
Google Chrome has announced that it will now ensure that secure pages only download secure files by blocking mixed content downloads or non-HTTPS downloads, which start on secure pages.
The move is to make certain that only secure content is downloaded through secure pages because Chrome currently will not give any indication to an individual if their privacy reaches stake. Eventually, Chrome plans to remove support for insecure downloads, the state blog notes.
Starting with Chrome 81, Chrome will begin gradually addressing the problem in the sort of warnings and blocking of mixed content downloads. By October, when it releases Chrome 86, it'll block all mixed content downloads. Mobile platforms could have a delayed rollout by one release.
