A new feature has been discovered in the Google Chrome codebase that will cause the browser to automatically block downloads from insecure HTTP resources. Previously, this was considered the norm, but now most sites have enabled HTTPS encryption to protect user data.
Earlier in the Chrome settings, a checkbox "Always use secure connections" appeared, the selection of which causes the browser to start trying to connect to sites with HTTPS. Legacy HTTP-only resources are marked as "insecure" in the address bar. Now the user will see a warning every time they try to download data via HTTP. Most often, Chrome will also report the blocking of the corresponding content, but after studying the warning, the user will be able to remove this blocking and still download the necessary file.
The updated feature will probably not make it in time for the stable Chrome 111 release, which is expected in March 2023, but it could very well debut with a preview version of the browser later this year.
I wrote about this long ago.
As soon as they'll do it - they'll have ideal tool to destroy any site their AI bots won't like for any reason - they'll just revoke certificate. As far as I know most of Russian internet sites and many Chinese will be banned such way. And will require manual install of root certificates and most probably also special patching or option turnoff.
The period of prosperity and peace that has lasted for the past 75 years is the exception for humanity, not the rule. The planet is now returning to a time of wars, pandemics and famine.

In at least one country, a decision will be made to completely abandon meat - first, by 2025, high taxes on meat will be introduced, and already in 2030, its production will be banned. The alternative would be plant-based artificial meat and lower-emission lab-grown meat technologies. Thus, countries will try to return to the climate agenda, which was under attack in 2022.
From their new prognosis of the future events.
It is first fully open statement that for usual people (not for elites!) meat will be banned.
