There is also a lot of 'clueless Bull Crap' spouted about https and internet security.
'Not Secure' does not mean its bad, which is what they are trying to make out with that message.
Many sites simply do not need to be secure.
A news site for example, or indeed, any informational site.
In fact pretty much any site where you dont need to login, or provide private information.
I deliberately use that term btw, and not 'Personal information' which is a very vague term.
Passwords for example are private, and should always use https when being passed to a website.
On the other hand, there is very little reason to worry about your name being sent over http.
