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".

How quickly people forget the Committee of Unamerica Activities. Fly-fishing, botany, skiing and photography all sound innocuous, but now imagine 20 years of shifting public perceptions. Fly fishing? Oh, so you're interested in torturing animals? Botany? So you grow drugs at home? Skiing? So you're complicit in damage to mountain regions? Photography? Are you a spy or a pervert?
Of course, most of this won't be filtered by a human, it will go into a big machine learning system, so no one will say 'we're not hiring you because you went to a fly-fishing web site', they'll say 'you were deemed to high risk by our totally objective machine learning system' and not mention that the training set was curated by a militant vegan.
