Google provided plenty of advanced warning, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt any less when Google discontinued support for its older Nest thermostats. While over a decade of support is pretty good, you still don’t expect something like a smart thermostat to lose its connected functionality during its lifetime.

One year from now, with the release of Chrome 154 in October 2026, we will change the default settings of Chrome to enable “Always Use Secure Connections”. This means Chrome will ask for the user’s permission before the first access to any public site without HTTPS.
