Chrome will be experimenting with defaulting to https:// if the site supports it, even when an http:// link is used and will warn about downloads from insecure sources for “high-risk files” (example given is an exe). They’re also planning on enabling it by default for Incognito Mode and “sites that Chrome knows you typically access over HTTPS”.

Second reason: killing manifest v2 to kneecap ad-blockers.
Third reason: banning ‘trackmenot’ extension from the chrome store since its purpose is to muddy search stats (enhancing privacy, but in a way that messes up Google’s ad metrics and their history of your preferred search terms).
