In short, Google has not only started favoring websites with HTTPS on their search engine but now with their web browser. If you want to make sure that your customers aren’t interrupted with any messages while they are using your website, we would encourage you to look at getting yourself an SSL certificate.
In an effort to share this information with more people, you may have been getting emails from Google through their search console alerting you about the changes that are upcoming.
We believe that Google will eventually show a larger and louder warning to all Chrome users.
Here is a video about HTTPS produced at a Conference hosted by Google.
