As things stand now, if one opens (in Chrome) one of my pages that has a custom Google search box, here’s what Chrome displays:
-
just to the left of the url they paste in a lower-case letter “i” in a small circle. If (only if) you click that “i” you read a warning that the connection is not secure, so don’t type in any sensitive data such as credit cards. I can live with that.
-
But on that same page, IF you enter a word(s) in the Google custom search box, then right next to the letter “i” up top, Chrome adds a visible warning: “Not Secure.” That I don’t want to live with.
So I’m considering just removing the Google custom search boxes on my pages. If Chrome continues to add the encircled letter '“i” to the left of the url just because the page is http, so be it. That won’t scare people as much as the visible “Not Secure” will.
