Chrome will be experimenting with defaulting to https:// if the site supports it, even when an http:// link is used and will warn about downloads from insecure sources for "high-risk files" (example given is an exe). They're also planning on enabling it by default for Incognito Mode and "sites that Chrome knows you typically access over HTTPS".

What's the difference between the two?

I'm not sure which thing you're referring to.

If it's between http and https, the s stands for secure and the connection to the server is authenticated and encrypted.
