When you have a secure connection Chrome will display a ‘padlock’ icon. Google Chrome likes when websites use HTTPS because it means they can feel more confident that your information is safe.
HTTPS adds SSL (another protocol) into the mix to provide encryption and authentication which keeps the information private between your computer and the website. HTTPS (notice the S on the end) is the secure protocol. Here is an example: An example of a page with the “Information Symbol” which indicates your connection is not secure. You will see the grey circle with an i – the “Information Symbol” – when you are connected over HTTP. When you are connected to a website over HTTP the content of the page can easily be changed and the information you enter in can easily be stolen. The meaning of those acronyms don’t matter – what you want to know is that one of those protocols is secure and one isn’t. Which one is used depends on what the website tells your browser to do. When you connect to a website your browser uses the HTTP protocol or the HTTPS protocol. It tells you when your connection to a website is not secure. The lowercase i with a circle around it is formally known as the Information Symbol. Have you seen this ‘circle with an i’ icon in Google’s Chrome web browser? Wondered what it meant? The new Google Chrome logo will be live for users across all devices with the release of Chrome 100 soon.Īccording to Hu one would start seeing the new icon now if you use Chrome Canary (the developer version of Chrome), but it will start rolling out for everyone else over the next few months.In Everything Encryption The grey ‘circle with an i’ symbol indicates your connection is not secure. For example, on Windows, the icons take on an obviously gradated look, appearing at home on Windows 10 and 11,” Hu added. We want the icons to feel recognizably Chrome, but also well crafted for each OS. Google also is tweaking it further with different variations designed to look more at home on Windows, MacOS and iOS The colours are brighter and the proportions are different, making the big blue ball in the middle noticeably bigger. The icon has been simplified/flattened by removing the shadows. The new icons will start to appear across your devices soon,” Hu said in a tweet. Yes! we’re refreshing Chrome’s brand icons for the first time in 8 years. “Some of you might have noticed a new icon in Chrome’s Canary update today.
