Running Chrome 111+ and like having your web browsing automatically upgraded to encryption when possible? (who doesn't?!) Help us dogfood! Go to chrome://flags, search for and enable npub1w70jhv9fwjwnfc3x947rkh2lu9pgrd7umfwqkvwev36axvrqa29qcvvvkq (npub1w70…vvkq)-first-mode-v2 and npub1y7nlv0xre4n6laj2l7dfd0mnjccjaxtz6q6qahq9v8028dvhugfquaxjtu (npub1y7n…xjtu)-upgrades, and restart. Voila! Bug reports welcome. This feature automatically tries every page load over https, but silently falls back to http if https doesn't work. It should mean more encryption without interfering with your browsing otherwise.
Also note that if you were already using Chrome's HTTPS-First Mode (https://blog.chromium.org/2021/07/increasing-https-adoption.html), it's available on Chrome for iOS now too: go to Settings > Privacy and Security > "Always Use Secure Connections". This feature is like the HTTPS upgrades described above, but you'll see a full-page warning before falling back to http => better security, at the cost of seeing some warnings.
