Chrome, in an experiment they've rolled out to half their users in preparation of making it the default. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/19719792bbd02433d8aeb7fda7fb00fc8ab7f0a6/chrome/browser/ssl/https_upgrades_interceptor.cc#66 https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/19719792bbd...
Regardless, the point of neverssl.com is that a non-technical user can learn "if I'm on a new wifi network and I see errors when I try to visit pages I can enter neverssl.com and get to the wifi login". Adding ssl + a redirect is much easier and more effective than trying to retrain everybody to manually type http.
It probably should have been named wifilogin.com or something. But renaming it has the same retraining issue.
