Not really. Google says "switch to HTTPS or lose ranking":

- brian-bk 6y agoGood to note. But I think you're distracting from the article's talking point. I disagree with "switch to HTTPS or lose ranking", but that's an HTTP vs. HTTPS issue with Google's search ranking, not about Chromium or Mozilla. This article is about Chromium & Mozilla making stricter rules for HTTPS certificates. That's not a bad thing, to hold HTTPS sites to a better standard.
