Hi

I have a question about Chrome security.

In Chrome, Is HTTP connections with loopback IP such as 127.0.0.1 considered secure?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards,
YT

Hi YT,

Yes, loopback IPs are considered secure contexts in Chrome and other browsers; see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Secure_Contexts#When_is_a_context_considered_secure.
