Google decides to block file download as HTTP through Chrome HTTPS websites
Remember, we warned you before about how to show websites that don't have HTTPS in Google Chrome as Not Secure.
Now, Google is planning to go further in this step by blocking the ability to download files from Chrome websites, such as https://www.software.com/ http://www.php-content-programme.html.
The ability to download files in this way means that hackers can send files with a different virus instead of the user, which is a threat to Chrome users' security.
