Why does everything need to be secure now?

I can understand shopping. And reporters of hot news. But why everything?

Why does my http site, which has nothing important on it at all, get flagged by chrome as "insecure"?

This strikes me as a bunch of bs.

So Google can capture more ad revenue by refusing to "attest" clients who run ad blockers?

And so other attestors can dictate the "approved" software that can be used.

What could go wrong? /s
