In February 2018 Google announced that Chrome will start showing HTTP websites as NOT SECURE.

Behind this step Google’s objective is to ensure internet users can easily recognize whether sites are safe or not.

GoDaddy team has advised webmasters to move to HTTPS and has answered this question: How long do I have to secure my website?

Google estimates the release of Google Chrome 68 sometime at the beginning of July 2018. Once they make the jump, other browsers will likely begin to follow.

Part of the HTTPS Everywhere movement, internet browser Mozilla Firefox has already openly stated with Google that their intent is to make HTTPS the new minimum. As an example, in January 2017, Firefox implemented a policy that began marking form elements on HTTP sites as insecure, and they warn users that any login information could become compromised.
