Chrome will be experimenting with defaulting to https:// if the site supports it, even when an http:// link is used and will warn about downloads from insecure sources for “high-risk files” (example given is an exe). They’re also planning on enabling it by default for Incognito Mode and “sites that Chrome knows you typically access over HTTPS”.
Why just one? :p
Second reason: killing manifest v2 to kneecap ad-blockers.
Third reason: banning ‘trackmenot’ extension from the chrome store since its purpose is to muddy search stats (enhancing privacy, but in a way that messes up Google’s ad metrics and their history of your preferred search terms).
