Google Chrome will begin to mark all HTTP sites as "not secure" starting in July 2018. This is just a warning displayed in the URL bar and won't stop users from loading the pages:
For the past several years, we've moved toward a more secure web by strongly advocating that sites adopt HTTPS encryption. And within the last year, we've also helped users understand that HTTP sites are not secure by gradually marking a larger subset of HTTP pages as "not secure". Beginning in July 2018 with the release of Chrome 68, Chrome will mark all HTTP sites as "not secure".

So all Google's sites will be https websites which will eagerly and efficiently store, correlate, and otherwise mine all sorts of details about you when you visit them "securely."
Sorry, but I am usually more worried about what the damn website is doing than what some eavesdropper on the wire might see. Distract them, Google! Behold the spy lurking OVER THERE.
