At first, I was apprehensive. As a newer web developer I have never had a secure site. I have a small portfolio and a few tiny side projects I work on, nothing with >10 users. I will have to learn more, do more, and pay more to support HTTPS.
When I look at it from a different lens, I believe the internet should be as private as possible. Encryption is a solution. I think we should all make a push to make things more secure. Hopefully, we can destroy the cottage industry around SSL certs and it will be bundled in as an expected value add with either hosting or DNS purchase. I think that $1 a month is enough rent for a cert, I saw an SSL cert offered for $600 bucks which is quite problematic if it represented the threshold someone would have to cross to get a cert.
Hopefully, mozilla will work to sort out the CA problem, which is the real thing holding back HTTPS adoption.
