The number of websites that protect traffic using HTTPS has increased considerably in the past months, according to data shared by Google last week.
The tech giant says 64% of websites loaded via Chrome on Android are now protected by HTTPS, up from 42% one year ago. There is also a significant improvement in the case of Mac and Chrome OS – in both cases, 75% of Chrome traffic is protected, up from 60% and 67%, respectively.
Data from Google shows that 67% of Chrome traffic on Windows goes through an HTTPS connection, up from 40% in July 2015 and nearly 50% in July 2016.
