Google Defaults to Encrypted HTTPS Searches for Logged In UsersGoogle will start redirecting searches through a secured, encrypted HTTPS connection for logged in users, starting today. (If it's not happening to you right away, it likely will in the next week or so.) You've been able to manually point your browser toward https://google.com/ for quite some time now, but the move is intended to keep your browsing behavior more secure by default. (Looks like https://google.com just redirects now, so you have to go to https://encrypted.google.com/.) For more foundation, check out our explainer on why you should care about HTTPS on the web.
