Ilya Grigorik and Pierre Far explain the security, privacy, and performance benefits of adopting HTTPS everywhere on the web.
Speaker(s): Ilya Grigorik, Pierre Far Description: Data delivered over an unencrypted channel is insecure, untrustworthy, and trivially intercepted. We must protect the security, privacy, and integrity of our users data. In this session we will take a hands-on tour of how to make your websites secure by default: the required technology, configuration and performance best practices, how to migrate your sites to HTTPS and make them user and search friendly, and more. Your users will thank you. Watch all Google I/O 2014 videos at: g.co/io14videosWhy it's here

On “Security done right: Celebrating infosec wins in 2021”
Because HTTPS also hides large parts of the web traffic metadata you generate. Of course state entities can still figure out what you’re doing, but it‘ll be much harder for regular people/companies to spy out what websites you visit and when. Given enough metadata that could pose quite a security risk.
