This is what patrickg_zill's comment said, just with some newlines and emphasis to make it more understandable. The not necessarily does not refer to HTTP, it refers to non-.app domains. And there is no "criticism is directed at a fantasy", there is a cynical prediction which is completely possible in all respects. You---or I---may think that that'll never be the reality, but regardless, that's what the comment said, and the other commenter misunderstood. I don't get why I get downvotes and criticism for this.
- prophesi 8y agoIt still reads to me like they meant non-HTTPS connections, as that is what they mark insecure in concert with buying the .app domain. They -could- have meant .app, but we'd need the guys word to know for sure. It's not as straightforward of a comment as you think it is.
- gkya 8y agoThat is probably because you want to understand it so. I give up, they completely meant HTTP vs. HTTPS...
