When Google inspected the security protocols of around 100 most-visited non-Google websites on the internet, a large number with less-than-ideal protection turned out to be X-rated stuff.

Surprising, but true, Google is actually worried about you and is making sure that you can surf your porn websites safely. Basically, Google is on the route to making surfing the internet for everybody safer than before.

When Google inspected the security protocols of around 100 most-visited non-Google websites on the internet, a large number with less-than-ideal protection turned out to be X-rated stuff. To its surprise, major news websites and a number of popular websites in the world lacked the industry-standard HTTPS encryption, which also included shopping portal eBay on its list.

Siliconbeat reported that the Transparency Report on Google’s website clearly mentions they were committed to making the internet a safer place for everyone, and not only for Google users. Hence the implementation of HTTPS encryption.

HTTPS encryption makes it difficult for the government as well as the service providers to know what you are doing online and Google wants to work with all websites to move towards HTTPS by the end of this year. HTTPS protocol helps encrypt all data communication that happens between a computer and the website.

As for Google’s list, websites that lack the encryption, or are incapable of the same, are Pornhub, Youporn, Xvideos and a few other porn websites. As for news websites, Ney York Times, CNN, MSN, BBC and Daily Mail are also listed.  Commercial websites included eBay and Alibaba. On the other hand, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Reddit, WhatsApp, Tumblr, Pinterest, Yahoo, Netflix, PayPal and a few others made it to the secure websites on Google’s list. Amazon too was present on the list, but is not encrypted by default and users would have to add ‘HTTPS://’ before using it.

Google will shortly start ranking pages with HTTPS encryptions on a higher side, also stating that it will also override the same if the content of a non HTTPS website is better.

Here is a list of the website that are running the most recent HTTPS encryption protocol by default:
