so will you do something about it?is it safe to put personal info on sites while this is happening?
Hi ct36,
the policy we change does only one thing - it switches QUIC protocol to HTTP/2 - still very fast and modern internet protocol so that WebShield will be able to scan it. As Jindrich wrote above, you can verify what has changed by visiting chrome://policy link - you will see all modification there. Without this, traffic going via QUIC (most of the Google-owned domains and some CloudFlare hosted domains and more in the future) would be unprotected by WebShield - they simply bypass it. While we really trust Google, its users sometimes host things that Avast might blocks when it is infected
(thanks Bob!) - like downloads from Google Drive shared folders.
So from the security point, we think it is better to have all traffic scanned.
Anyway, we hear you, and I understand that you don't want to see the "Managed by your organization" text in the settings - does that mean that you would rather have QUIC connections not scanned?
Thanks!
Lukas
