Google wants to hide https and www in address bar

As a user it is nice to know if the website you are visiting has an SSL certificate.Generally, you can see this by looking at the lock in the address bar. It can also be seen in the link, if it says https:// then you know you're on a website with an SSL certificate.
Now Google has announced their intention to remove https and www from the address bar.This should make it easier for the user to read urls.

Will this affect me?

If you are not a user of Google Chrome then fortunately this will not affect you.If you do use Google Chrome then you will have to pay close attention to whether a website still has an SSL certificate.You will be able to recognize this by the lock icon in the address bar.

In the year 2019 it is important that you have an SSL certificate on your hosting.You give your visitors or customers the opportunity to use a secure connection to visit your website.This awakens a sense of confidence in most customers or visitors.
