Manage Advanced security settingsTurn on Always use secure connectionsWhen a website’s URL has HTTPS, it can indicate a secure connection. Connections to sites that use HTTPS are more secure than those that don’t.
When you turn on Always use secure connections, Chrome upgrades URLs to use HTTPS and displays a warning before you visit a site that doesn’t support it.
When you’re about to load a site that doesn’t use HTTPS in its URL, you'll find a “Not Secure” warning in the address bar.
Turn on Warn you if a password was compromised in a data breach Use a secure connection to look up a site’s IP addressWhen you visit a site, Chrome looks up the site’s host server’s IP address. To protect your privacy and security, if Secure DNS lookup is turned on, Chrome encrypts your information during the lookup process.
By default, Secure DNS in Chrome is turned on in automatic mode. If Chrome has issues looking up a site in this mode, it'll look up the site in the unencrypted mode.
You can select a custom provider. When you select a custom provider, Chrome won't default to unencrypted mode. If you have issues, like error messages, you can check your provider setting or turn Secure DNS off. The error messages may say that the server’s IP address couldn't be found.
Important: If your device is managed or parental controls are turned on, you can’t use Chrome’s secure DNS feature.
Tip: If you're on a Chromebook, under "Advanced," select Manage secure DNS in ChromeOS settings. Then, turn Use secure connections to look up sites on or off.
Manage V8 security settingsImportant: To improve site performance, V8 is turned on by default.

The Chrome Root Program lists the root certificates trusted by Chrome to authenticate HTTPS sites. Learn more about the Chrome Root Program.
