I'm glad this is happening, although I'm more excited for the day when they start very obviously marking password input fields as "NOT SECURE" when they are used on HTTP sites. Although I am genuinely surprised how much Google and others like Mozilla have had to drag many site owners kicking and screaming into HTTPS. I never would have imagined that end-to-end encryption by default would be consitered "controversial".

Also, those HTTPS numbers are amazing!

* Over 68% of Chrome traffic on both Android and Windows is now protected

* Over 78% of Chrome traffic on both Chrome OS and Mac is now protected

* 81 of the top 100 sites on the web use HTTPS by default
