"Not secure" What does this mean?

Just noticed this on Chrome. Not sure what it means. Is there something I need to change in my settings or do I need to use a different browser?

We don't use https (which is an encrypted web transaction) because you're not transmitting anything sensitive here. But earlier this year, they adopted it as the standard and put out a notification for sites that don't use it. It's fairly common, and it's been almost a year since you'll have started seeing that notification here and probably on other sites that you visit.

We'll transition next year sometime. But it's not something we actually need.

Thanks for that info. Sometimes I can be pretty technically challenged.

Thanks for the explanation,. Jeff.

I had been wondering about that message myself, but didn't want to make a big deal about it.
