 Russian forces to stay in Mali to fight terrorism: Kremlin The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russian forces would stay in Mali to help the country's government battle terrorists following an offensive over the weekend by Tuareg-led separatists and terrorists. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the statement after being asked by a reporter how Russia responded to a purported statement from the terrorists saying they wanted Russia to leave Mali. "Russia's presence there is, in fact, due to the need identified by the current government. Russia will continue, including in Mali, to combat extremism, terrorism and other harmful phenomena and will continue to provide assistance to the current government," said Peskov, AFP reported.

GOOGLE CHROME TO DEFAULT TO SECURE HTTPS CONNECTIONS BEGINNING IN APRIL . (PHOTO).


 Google Chrome to default to secure HTTPS connections beginning in April 

Google is taking a major step to make web browsing safer by default. While the use of HTTPS—a more secure web protocol—has plateaued, with 95–99% of Chrome navigations already using it as of 2020, the company plans to enable a new setting called Always Use Secure Connections for all public websites by default. This change will roll out in October 2026 with Chrome 154. Users who already have Enhanced Safe Browsing turned on will see the feature earlier, starting in April with Chrome 147. Once activated, Chrome will request user permission before connecting to any public site that does not use HTTPS.

Google has been gradually pushing this shift for years. Chrome first warned users about insecure HTTP websites in 2018, defaulted to HTTPS in April 2021, and began offering Always Use Secure Connections as an opt-in in 2022. The move aims to prevent attacks where hackers intercept or reroute connections to deliver malware or execute social engineering exploits. Because even a single HTTP navigation can provide a foothold for attackers, Google says HTTPS is critical for public sites. Private networks, like local IP addresses and company intranets, often remain on HTTP due to challenges in obtaining certificates, but these connections carry lower risks since attacks would need to originate from inside the network.
