Gmail has a security feature which most free online email services still lack. Gmail有一项安全功能，大多数免费的在线电子邮件服务仍然缺乏。 It is the ability to use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) or more simply a Secure Connection.它是能够使用SSL （安全套接字层）或更多的只是一个安全连接。

Secure connection makes sure that the data and information shared between Google servers and your web browser remains encrypted.安全方面可以确保数据和信息共享之间的谷歌服务器和您的网页浏览器依然加密。 It proves to be beneficial when using Gmail in public sector area eg public WiFi hotspots or college/university labs.它被证明是有益的使用Gmail时，在公共部门领域如公共WiFi热点或学院/大学实验室。

Previously the only way to initiate a Secure connection between Gmail and your web browser was to manually type the (https://) protocol instead of (http://) to access Gmail but as it is not feasible for the unaware masses, Gmail has now introduced a new setting called Browser Connection.以前的唯一途径，开展安全之间的联系Gmail和您的网页浏览器是手动键入（网址为： https ： / / ）协议而不是（ http:// ）访问Gmail ，但因为它是不可行的不了解群众的Gmail现在已经推出了新的要求设置浏览器连接。

Browser Connection lets users choose whether or not to force a secure connection.浏览器连接可以让用户选择是否以武力安全连接。 This way they won’t have to type in the (https://) protocol again and again while accessing Gmail.这样，他们将不必输入（网址为： https ： / / ）协议，一次又一次地在访问Gmail了。

One point to note is that though forcing a secure connection makes your data safe, but it slows down the speed and latency of your connection as it has to always encrpt/decrypt data at both ends while transfering.有一点需要注意的是，虽然迫使安全连接让您的数据安全，但它减慢了速度和潜伏期您的连接因为它始终encrpt /解密数据两端同时转让。 This feature is mostly recommended for users accessing Internet through a public WiFi.此功能主要是建议用户访问互联网上通过一个公共的WiFi 。
