Encryption has a cost, it isn't free. It increases CPU utilisation and power consumption. It interferes with caching and reduces network efficiency.
This. Therefore it also uses more energy and is worse for the environment!
I kind of get why Google engineers might think this is a good idea, but the problem is that there's so many sites that don't use or need encryption, that this won't change. And as a result, lots of users will be getting told that site xyz is insecure, when it isn't... and they'll use it anyway.... thus entirely negating the benefit of changing the browser in the first place.
If the vast majority of websites were encrypted, then I could see the logic, but as-is, I'd say....
This is a dumb idea. A very dumb idea.

Not sure I'd have even modded that funny. Right now, MS might be perfectly happy to play fast and loose with other peoples copyright, but it won't be long before they see a potential revenue stream and buy up someone like iStock.
Its chicken breast tissue.... thats just blatant click bait. However you want to look at it.
Or it might be chick bait.

It's hard to even think of an analogy for this
