Title: We&#x27;ve seen the push for HTTPS in recent years accelerate and become more and more aggressive (in a good way).<p>Browsers have arguably led this drive by notifying users that the pages they are viewing are &quot;NOT SECURE&quot;, through the use of pad-lock icons in the URL bar or even notifications under textboxes (e.g. Firefox) [0]. Chrome, too, is driving this trend. And with users fearful of sending data over a &quot;non secure connection&quot;, they&#x27;ll be vocal enough to push website owners to fix this issue.<p>---<p>So, if you could decide: <i>what feature or measure would you want to see adopted as quickly as the push to make all sites use HTTPS?</i><p>[EDIT: kudos if you describe how your new standard could be &quot;forced&quot;, e.g. through a URL-bar icon, notifying users somehow, etc. How would you convince other developers and maintainers of large code-bases, websites, browser vendors, etc. that they should throw their support behind your initiative?]<p>Think ambitiously too -- imagine your proposed feature would have the same backing and urgency as we have with HTTPS, with browsers (for better or for worse) authoritatively &quot;dictating&quot; the new way of doing things.<p>---<p>[0] http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cdn.ghacks.net&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2017&#x2F;03&#x2F;firefox-52.0-warning-insecure-login.png<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.troyhunt.com&#x2F;life-is-about-to-get-harder-for-websites-without-https&#x2F;
