Google has just released Chrome version 90, bringing a privacy update that automatically adds HTTPS to a URL when it is available.

Chrome engineers flagged the HTTPS feature in February and Google has been testing it in Chrome 90 previews in the Canary and Beta channels. Additionally, Chrome 90 blocks downloads from HTTP sources if the page URL is HTTPS.
Google explained in a blogpost last month that the HTTPS default should help when users type "example.com" instead of "Example Domain". Chrome previously used http:// as the default protocol, but now defaults to https://.
