Searches performed on Google are encrypted more than three-quarters of the time, according to a new section unveiled by the company on its biannual transparency report.

The report states that as of Feb. 27, more than 77 percent of requests to Google’s servers globally used encrypted connections. That was up from 51 percent at the same time the previous year. The figure ranged from a low of 64 percent in Canada to a high of 86 percent in Mexico. The figure for the United States was 72 percent.
