Chrome devs hatch plan to mark all HTTP traffic insecure

What was the question

Daft.

How these clueless less turkeys can even consider such a stupid idea is beyond me. Never mind the overall reduction in user security-awareness because of Google cluttering up screens with too much useless information and confusing everyone bar the geeks who don't need this "help" anyway. The vast majority of web content has zero security relevance. Who [i]cares[/i] if that cat picture is sent securely? What happened to the goal of having an open, accessible Internet with open, simple means of reading and writing content? What is the hidden agenda here? There must be one, 'coz there surely isn't any trace of sense in the proposal as it stands.
