In Chrome, as you can see below, under Settings/Privacy and security/Security/Advanced, there's a toggle to turn on or turn off Chrome warning you about websites that are not HTTPS. If you try to go to such a website, the “Not Secure” warning is alerting you that information sent and received with that page is unprotected and it could potentially be stolen, read or modified by attackers, hackers and entities with access to internet infrastructure (like Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and governments). The “Not Secure” warning does not mean that your computer or the site you are visiting is affected by malware. It only serves to alert you that you do not have a secure connection with that page. So, if you're not sending any info to the site, there's no harm or risk in going to it. Finally, some websites that are perfectly fine might not give you the warning but will start jiggling and not load unless you turn off the toggle.
