  See the top reply to that comment: > They're trying to solve the "how do log into this captive portal" problem, and they needed to make this change to handle that typing "neverssl.com" now often evaluates to "https://neverssl.com https://neverssl.com". So, yes, it's still useful for WiFi logins. The change in question was specifically for that purpose. https://neverssl.com https://neverssl.com now redirects to http://neverssl.com http://neverssl.com so you can log in to WiFi even if your browser thinks it knows better. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35792149 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35792149

    Except it actually makes the handling of that case worse, quite apart from making a lie of the name and content of the site.
