So should we all browse through a Tor relay when we're looking at cat pictures? Maybe a new protocol can be invented that allows websites to force us to use one? I tend to dislike these dogmatic rules - you have to be aware of the particulars of your situation and design a solution that fits that. For a lot of sites HTTPS seems to me like overkill. If the environment changes where ISPs are routinely injecting ads etc. into your content streams maybe always-HTTPS will make sense, but the cases of that at this point in time seem relatively rare, not worth wrapping the entire internet in an unneeded software layer.

Actually, yes. Most tor users would be greatful if you used tor to browse cat pics, as it strengthens the entire network by having more people using it.
