They have been using their leverage to try to force SSL usage for some time, including adversely affecting search rankings for sites that don't use it. They have clearly articulated many times they think SSL everywhere is important for the web, and they have the leverage in search/browser marketshare to try to make this a reality. > https://security.googleblog.com/2014/08/https-as-ranking-sig...

For what its worth, most metrics show a significant jump in SSL usage in 2016/17 following the announcement that it could adversely affect search rankings, although who knows if the two are related. |
