The “Not Secure” notice in the browsers is happening because updated versions of the browsers are trying to make sites that don’t use encryption more obvious. Google, makers of Chrome, have the dominant browser-share and they want to pressure web site admins to use encryption whether they need it or not. So they start making their browsers show this Not Secure tag, and the site users then push the admins to add TLS security to their site to make the unsettling message go away. The other browsers, such as Safari or Firefox, don’t want to be left behind, so they follow Google’s lead.
It’s a good thing. Unfortunately it puts sites like bigfishtackle.com in a position where they will have to spend more money on resources, because adding the security the browsers want will take more hardware to handle the same load.
And unfortunately it still won’t prevent many of the password-stealing hacks that you describe.
