According to the company, it will ensure that secure files are downloaded from secure pages while downloads from mixed content files or non-HTTPS pages will be blocked.

The move is intended to enable the downloading of malware-protected content to ensure the protection of users and will also gradually remove support for insecure downloads.

This update will be introduced in Google Chrome 81 and users will first be warned about mixing content and then blocking it, while downloading all the mix content in Chrome 86 version will be available in October this year.
