Chrome 68 arrives with new APIs and all HTTP sites marked as not secure

Google today launched Chrome 68 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The release includes the Page Lifecycle API, the Payment Handler API, and a change to how the browser labels HTTP sites: They are all now marked as “Not secure” right in the address bar. You can update to the latest version now using Chrome’s built-in updater or download it directly from google.com/chrome.

With over 1 billion users, Chrome is both a browser and a major platform that web developers must consider. In fact, with Chrome’s regular additions and changes, developers often make a point to ensure they are aware of everything available — as well as what has been deprecated or removed.
