HTTPs to HTTP Links

[yaelslater]

Hi Mozers,

I have a question about the news that Google Chrome will start blocking mixed content starting in December 2019.  That starting in December 2019, users that are presented insecure content will be presented a toggle allowing those Chrome users to unblock the insure resources that Chrome is blocking. And in January 2020, Google will remove that toggle option an will just start blocking mixed content or insecure web pages.

Not sure what this means. What are the implications of this for a HTTPS page that has an HTTP link?

Thanks,

Yael

Basically, don't link to the insecure web (HTTP) from HTTPS. I'm uncertain as to how external links will be evaluated, but it does seems as if Google are taking a hard stance on this. I'm expecting the main issue to be stuff like, embedding images on HTTP when they should be embedded using HTTPS
