  Good that you mentioned that. I already though, wow, so many dumb users here (the other replies) on HN. Well, it seems some have a bad luck with their ISP that do some shaddy ad-injecting. But why not use another ISP or VPN? I would say most internet users still have a neutral ISP if you look at it at grander world wide view. And as long as HTTP works so fine for all Amazon e-commerce websites "beside their US centric Amazin.com" (as I wrote, but some didn't get), I am the opinion that HTTP is a viable option and shouldn't be treated as legacy by Google at all. The whole HTTP/2 movement seems fishy to me, if you know how it works and who benefits the most, then you know also why they lobby for it.but as they now try to deprecate HTTP/1 that a very evil move, and everyone who supports that because he gets paid for lobbying should be very ashamed (and sure some users are still ill informed and go with the masses, nothing new, but they were previously not part of the HN community, but on other sites like Reddit or whatever).
