everything is a tradeoff
Thank you!
I agree there are good motivations behind the "encrypt everything" argument, but at the end of the day I'd like my browser to be first and foremost a tool for ME, not a tool for Google to manipulate website administrators.
I understand the implications of visiting a non-encrypted HTTP site. Every time my browser throws up a "this site isn't safe" roadblock and makes me perform extra clicks, I cry a little. Lately those extra clicks take me to a different browser.
- Operyl 7y ago_You_ understand the implications of visiting a non-encrypted site because you are a technologically savvy user. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the world does not have the experiences you and I have. Overall, it's a major plus that this is currently happening, honestly.
