Clicking on a http:// http:// link these days feels like I have been tricked into clicking on a phishing link in an email. Good trick though.

- ComputerGuru 5y agoThis is why any attempts to make plain http sites throw up scare warnings is a horrible idea. The internet is littered with old websites that contain a wealth of knowledge and deserve to remain accessible. Just make browsers for into “read only” mode where input cannot be accepted on non-secure pages. But don’t wall them out!
- tus89 5y agoIt would be nice if HN marked such links before I click on them (especially on mobile I can't see the link before I click on it easily). @dang?
