Most sites these days are 'secure' as their web address starts with https.

In contrast, Chrome flags all sites which start with http as being "Not Secure" and advises users not to enter personal information into the website in question.

If all you are going to do is browse and download content, does it make any difference to one's security if the site is not 'secure' due to it being http and not https and therefore not having the padlock?
